Of the languages I know, the only one I could recommend for a young programmer would be C++ (and, of course, ActionScript 3). Even that is problematic, though--C++ may be an obsolescent language itself. More to the point would be what language would I learn that I don't already know. PHP would be near the top of the list. If you want to branch out, I think C# and .NET is the up-and-coming language for the next few years--actually, make that Visual Basic and C#, both with .NET. Java would be high on my list, too, especially since it is so similar to AS3. I think there is a future also for Python and some other Web-oriented languages. What is clear is that, at the moment, Web-oriented development is the growth field, more so than desktop apps.
