Best Languages to Learn?

I've read that one should pick languages for he wants to do. Are there just like, a few languages, that when learned, would cover pretty much every job?

I'm a programming nub. I've just turned seventeen and I'm only halfway through a high-school Java course. >.>

>>3 is stupid
Ok, several people in this thread is stupid. But people saying Java is good are not to be trusted for suggestions on programming languages, as they show by liking that.

You should learn a low level language, i.e. C, not C++ shit, C, like a man, then a high-level, dynamic langauge which supports functional programming, where you have a lot of good choices. I'll name three: Python, Ruby, Lisp. You may like Python's __cleanliness__, Ruby's weeabooism, or Lisp (((((and (purity) (macros)))))).
