You will want to get pretty comfortable with C and build a solid understanding of assembly. In systems / embedded, usually you are working with small amounts of memory and slower processors, so you need to understand how to use limited resources wisely. If you are getting into this as a hobby, pick up a gumstix board or an arduino, these dev boards will give you hundreds of hours of learning and fun. If you are trying to make a career of this, find a job where the projects sound interesting and get your hands dirty. Take every task that comes your way and ask yourself how you can do better and learn from this task. Either way, have fun and happy coding!
