Knowledge gained is never useless. Learn as much as you can. You never know what will be useful when. But if you intend to work on the GNU/Linux platform only,
VB would not be of much help to you. You will be able to use your knowledge of C/C++ anyway
But if you intend to do programming under Windows,
VB is good.
If you intend to use GCC libraries (under GNU/Linux), you can't make proprietory softwares (I think so). You can sell your software, but opening the source, permitting re-distribution, etc. is compulsory.
Anyway, have a look at this thread. Discussion about free software is going on there.
May be its useful to you.
Free vs. Prop. Software. Is free financially viable?
