Bamrak, do you have any degree at all? That could help.

An important thing to realize is that learning languages is a very minor part of being a programmer. Languages are easy, the hard part is deciding what to do with them. =)

C++ is still the most popular programming language out there, which means more jobs and more competition.

C# is related to C++ and Java in a vague way. So, learning C# will place you closer to the 'center' of programming.

I'd also think about picking up some books to read outside of your certification path. "Design Patterns" should be read by every programmer, for example (and try not to become a zealot, heh).
