I got started with Basic in gradeschool making what can only be very loosely called "games" and my old man got me an account on the VAX where he worked and I started learning Pascal and, later C. In highschool I learned some python and *cough* Eiffel and in college the required programming course was in VB and Java was the elective language. Perl and shell scripting were both part of the sysadmin portions of the degree program, which kind of fleshed things out.
