If you're looking to make money, c# or java are the languages to learn these days. Make sure to learn SQL and at least one enterprise level database (ie Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle).
c++ jobs are much harder to come by - especially when you lack years of professional experience. Furthermore, recent studies suggest c++ jobs actually pay less than c# or java.
If you're looking to get into the gaming industry, c++ is the language to learn. But you're opening a whole can of worms there on what you should know. Besides, that industry is probably based on who you know in addition to what you know.
PS: The EQ client was made in c++. For the server side code, it was likely done with c++, but you never know for sure..
