As much as I love Python, Ruby and PHP I would have to say that that 
vast majority of programming jobs are going to be in Java or .NET. So if 
your goal is to be able to easily find a job you may want to consider 
Java or .NET. I honestly haven't seen that many Python or Ruby open 
positions, especially in Iowa.
