Get solid experience in one of the more popular languages, like the two I just mentioned.

Thats a fair point, *but*, as Rails jobs increase (and they are) then the need for more experienced Rails developers will increase. Start learning Rails now and in a year you'll be a very employable Rails developer. That doesn't preclude you from learning something else at the same time.
