That's more than enough reason IMHO
If you're curious, Bjarne Stroustrup has written a list of just a few organisations/applications which have used C++
C++ Applications
He writes at the top of the page, that he couldn't list even a 1000th of the number of projects using C++ ... You get the idea.
One other reason, at least with regards to C (I'm not sure if it applies as much to C++), is that its widely recognised by employers. If you're competent in C, then you'll be more convincing when you come to sell yourself on other languages you know.
The employer may not need a C programmer, but if a PHP/SQL/C#/etc programmer also knows C, that adds more credibility, being essentially the 'de facto' language that many will look for in applicants. You could bet good money that the interviewer for a programming job will be versed in C too.
