I mostly just want to get as much experience as possible so I can decide exactly which sort of field I want to go in... I guess what I'm asking is which language would give me the most opportunities?
Start with C++. That's the most widely used language (except HTML
). Even if you don't end up using it, it will teach you the basics of coding which will help you if you change language later on.

"In short, their absurdities are so extreme that it is painful even to quote them."
I'd say start with python if you're just trying to get a feel for it.
None.
I order you to forgive yourself!
I've learned Java for a year and it felt very easy. During the summer, I decided to make my own chess engine. I wrote the first 1000 lines in Java and then I felt like I wanted to try making everything in c++ so I tried to compile my Java code with gcc and from there, I corrected the mistakes that were outputted by the compiler. It turned out Java was not too different from c++ and pretty much everything I knew was transfered to c++. (The syntax is very similar between both languages.)
Not sure if it helps you in anyway...
Moral of the story: Once you know a programming language, it's not too hard to learn an other one when you feel like it.
Languages are a huge maybe. Platform functionality is a definite no. Try turning a Java Swing app into a C++ Windows app, for instance.
I suppose
eventually you could manage it, but it can't be much better than just remaking it from scratch...
None.
Java or Python would be my recommendations, if you just want to play around.
Here's the IDE we used at uni, which is specifically for teaching OO concepts (classes vs objects etc):

None.
Why do courses focus so heavily on OO? It is completely unnecessary
most of the time it is used.
Something like Java's probably a good place to start. Probably better than VB (where I started)...

Because OO methodologies are probably used in most commercial development these days, whether it's .net or web apps or what have you. Not that I'm saying non-OO is uncommon, just that OO is the most predominant. Also once you've learnt OO it's easier to pick up procedural coding as it's effectively a 'simpler' paradigm; going from procedural to OO is a bigger task to get your head around as it completely changes the way software is designed.
None.
Uh, I thought you implicitly needed to understand procedural
before OO...
None.
