From what I heard from a lot of programmers; avoid VB at all cost. It is terrible language and people speak about how horrible at it. I don't know have any experience with the language so I don't if it is bad.
Learn a powerful language like Python and Ruby. Lot of programmers say they are great beginner programmers. They are also very powerful programming language. So when you master them, you will have lot of power available at your fingertip.
If you learn one language, you will be able to pick up other programming languages much easier and faster. After all, it is programming. It not like you have to learn programming all over again when learning a new language.
Programming languages are like tools. Use the right tool for the job. If you're looking at web development, you might be looking at the PHP language or the Ruby on Rails Framework which is for Ruby programmers. If you're looking at something that require speed, C might be the job and so on.
