well, C is pretty hard to start off with, but it beats most of the other languages. if i was you, i would focus more on creating applications for the web. check out php/perl and their DB-connectivities.

php is pretty easy to learn though i do not have much experience.
im using c++ very much, there are really great libraries out there; with Qt for example (www.trolltech.com) you can do widget-applications in a second. just tell him where to put the buttons and done.
i mostly use it for numerical mathematics.

if you've learned one language you can easily switch to another. c is good to start with (for object orientet programming c++, but this really would be too much to start with), imo since it contains all the basic concepts. the only problem is the syntax, programs from more advanced programmers are hard to read, cause there are a lot of elegant tricks.
don't spend too much time on the details, i learned the basics from a 100 pages book. the other source is a .pdf when i got to look something up

I'd stay away from C++, go learn Java instead.
C was the first "real" language I learned, but I wouldn't recommend it as a first language. You'll probably be exposed to it again if you go for a Computer Science degree. But since you've already started at C, go for it, but also check out an object-oriented language as well.

i heard java is pretty similar to c++ but i got no experience at all with java.
i like c++ for the overloading of operators and all that freaky stuff

C++ is probably my least favorite language of those I've had to use.
Although you're practically guaranteed a decent job if you're very good at it. :-P
