Actually, many people are being turned away from jobs that they never knew they should learn C for. If you're going into any field of work that involves a server, they will want you to know C. Whether it be web development, network development, etc. The only reason you'd learn a .NET language is if you're specifically targetting the newest Windows machines with the framework (since not many people actually bundle the framework with an installation)
Good choice on C, my suggestion:

It's been the standard for 20+ years and hasn't gone out of date
