Always a hot topic!!!
Which is the best language to learn and otherwise? Start with C, you can write unbelievably bad and undecipherable code with it. There is a huge amount of sample code out there from which to learn, mostly real old stuff with tons of strange looking header files from the cave days. As an added benefit there are many non-portable functions from compilers that no longer breathe.
If you survive this experience you will be ready for most anything, even C++ programming. The many include files will make your head spin though!

Like everyone I would advocate you learn C#.
Also like everyone I used to be hooked up to PHP /Python and other non-microsoft related technologies.
Eventually I had to give up my negative attitude against Microsoft and move to where the money was . i.e .NET
I have swallowed my pride and am now a misrosoft whore. Hell I am even gunning to become an MVP.
C# /.NET is the way forward

OP:
As a college student, when I go to career fairs and similar events, and talk to employers, the languages that are most often mentioned are C++ and Java as far as non-Web development goes. I don't know about web development. . AJAX seems to be popular as well as the usuals.

I agree with samaru here. It would be wiser to learn C++ first as it introduces the basic programming, if you know enough on c++ then you can choose to learn another language.
