getting some tech skills?

Which computer skills are considered to be the most valuable? I was a little overwhelmed when I went to the bookstore and found such a wide variety of topics in the computer section. Visual Basic, C++, Perl, Java, Oracle, Linux, Unix, SQL, and many others. If I want to learn computer skills, where should I begin?

Presently, the only computer knowledge I have is some HTML and a little Javascript. I don't necessarily have any objectives to achieve by learning a new computer skill, other than having a little something to enhance my resume. Which computer skills will be most useful for me? Or, I guess a better question would be: how do I determine which computer skills would be most useful for me? I also want to consider level of difficilty. Are any of these considered to be relatively easy to learn?
