If you want to be a low-wage monkey doing no-brainer jobs, then why not.
Otherwise, go with Pascal, then C + assembly, then Scheme, then Python/Django + JS/jQuery for practical stuff. You will be smart and employable. Make sure you know regexps and xpath really well.
You may or may not want to move on to C++ or Java. It depends on what is in demand in your area. Where I live Java programmers deploy ENTERPRISE SCALABLE SOLUTIONS with Maven/Spring for twice the money I get (I'm a Perl/Python monkey).
If you have time, it may be also beneficial to dick around with R, J, Haskell, Ocaml, F#, Scala. It will probably not get you anywhere career-wise, but you will become an overall better programmer.
People who say that wasting time on learning languages you won't be using at your workplace are fucking morons who cannot program. Learning a programming language to a proficient level is 1% time spent on learning its syntax, 2% on getting used to its computational model, 2% time spent on learning building/distribution infrastructure that is used with it, and 95% writing actual practical shit with other peoples' libs.
