I think many folks have made some very important comments, let me add just one more.
I would say that it depends on what kind of programming you would like to do. I am only going to comment on the ones I know. Others may be better.
If you would like to do some web programming, then I would suggest php/mysql since many service providers support it (including Mark's company Suso). It is easy to get something up and running quickly.
I am a web developer at IU, and we are Java/J2EE as Steven noted.
If you would like to do systems programming, then C. I also agree that it is good to learn C because it's syntax is the basis for so many languages. There are a number of GUI open source projects that use C++.
I certainly enjoy what I do, so if you end up staying with programming, I think you will enjoy it.
Bob
