RPG IV is NOT another language; it is the same language, in a slightly 
different format (and extended). Re-education is not necessary (until you 
want to use the added features, of course). A few years ago I told a new 
programmer, who was educated in RPG III, that we used RPG IV. That same 
morning he was programming in RPG IV; never looked back.

As for C: Now that is a totally different language. And since you can use 
the C libraries in RPG (IV), RPG is arguably more powerful than C on the 
iSeries.
