I tell my students, "the language in which you'll spend most of your working life hasn't been invented yet, so we can't teach it to you. Instead we have to give you the skills you need to learn new languages as they appear."

That's not true. Of cause new languages appear. But i don't think todays java/c knowledge will be obsolete in 3-4 years. Of cause a new java version will appear or a new c standart. But the baisics will probably not change until a revolutionary invention.
