Hm... I'll give you Silverlight, but MFC and Visual Basic both lasted over a decade, which isn't too shabby in this business. MFC is still supported and developed, but far less used, these days. (If you want to work with GUIs on Windows, learn C#.)

Predicting the future is notoriously hard, and predicting what platforms will be around in five years isn't much easier (remember Symbian, which had close to 100% of the smartphone market?) so it's hard to give advice, especially since the smartphone/social media/online world is experiencing a nice bubble at the moment.

The main language used for Android development is Java, which means learning a new language and its libraries, as well as the quirks of the Android platform. How long did it take you to learn C++/MFC?

Of course, you can also develop for Android using C/C++, C# (via Xamarin's Mono), or JavaScript (via PhoneGap). As the latter two are evolving and improving, I'd say they are better bets, since they both are platform-independent. However, most Android jobs I've seen advertised have been for Java-based development.

In the end, it comes down to what you want to work with. If you enjoy C++, why not stick with it? It will be around for a good while yet.
