Learn Java which has a high demand today like VB.NET and if you learned or mastered Java most of the other programming languages out there would be a piece of cake. Also, VB.NET would be a piece of cake too if you already learned a language like Java.
Lots of people will agree with me, but also lots of ignorant people would take this post offensive because they only know is VB6 or VB.NET. No flaming, for me this is a mere fact.
