This is right on, ++. A career is much bigger than the languages you know; it's about the kind of work you want to do and being competant enough to know and use the right tools. If you are doing the right kind of work, you will probably enjoy using the tools, even when they change.
I've used C for a long time, and could still find work with it if I wanted (it was supposed to have died off long ago due to C++). While it was the best tool for the kind of work I was doing, I enjoyed using it. As my work content changed, it became cumbersome. I found Perl was a much more efficient tool, and now I use it and enjoy it.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
