NO to C++! If you want to learn something that is object-oriented, go for Ruby... Much more accessible than C++, and also in demand.
As for C, yes, you should learn C. In several industry segments (such as embedded systems), you cannot even get an interview if you do not know C.
A nice way to do something in C is to write a text editor using ncurses for the GUI. This was something I did in my second year as a Comp Sci major in school, and it was a great experience (with a friend).
