Labview perspective/type of applications
"My goal is only find a normal job after I finish my studies."
As soon as someone defines what a "normal" job is, then perhaps this might be doable.
Your questions cannot be answered because it's not the language that's important, it's what you do. In general, C/C++ gets used primarily if you're developing applications. It's also true that LabVIEW is primarily used in academia and in testing environments. Who's to say which is the more "normal" environment? These days it makes no sense to focus on just one language, as you will end up being exposed to many different languages. I've been primarily in test engineering, and I've used VB, C, C++, LabVIEW, and C#.
It should also be noted that the language isn't as important as knowing good design principles. In other words, knowing how to program rather than knowing the syntax of a particular language. If you know how to design and develop a solid algorithm it doesn't really matter what language you use to implement it. If your design is crap, then implementing in C, C++, or LabVIEW is just going to give you more crap.

Hello Mishkylar,
If you're hoping to find work that is strictly or mostly programming related, then it probably wouldn't hurt to learn some C,C++, etc. The more well rounded a programmer you are, the more likely you would be to find someone looking for one or more of your talents.

Cool! I've been immortalized. Well, at least until these forums stay online.

Wow! Five stars before I ever read it. We have to add this one to the LV Proverbs thread.
