I disagree, in the least because the job opportunities for C, C++, C# and Java are much and much larger than those for CF developers.
Second, with C# or Java you learn to work with true OOP in a much more advanced environment then CF will ever be. If you for example look at protection levels for every action you take, it will force you to think about the architecture of your application in a way CF will probably never reach. Even then, I don't know how this is in the US, but here university level schools don't really focus on the programming languages, but they focus more on managing a software creation process, writing technical and functional documentation, diagrams, architectures, release management, and then there comes programming. It is nice if students can get a copy of CF cheaper with a school license, but to let schools teach CF, rather not. Every Java developer can program CF, not every CF programmer can do Java.
