My 2c. Learn Java or DotNet as they are mainstream programming languages used to create enterprise applications.
Python and Perl are mainly used for scripting of one-off utilities or small and simple web pages.
If a person spends about 1000 hours programming in Java and reading books etc, he can probably pick up a $50k job no problem. Java developers can make up to 100K with about 7 years of experience in most mid-size cities.
You would be surprised how little Java a kid with a 4 year CS degree has. I know because I have interviewed them.
