I think it's worth it to become familiar with C# and the capabilities it has
that VB.NET doesn't.

The fact is, 99% of what the languages can do is identical - because the
power is really all in the framework. For almost everything there is a 1 to
1 correspondance, and for the most part it is trivial to go from one
language to the other.

So it'll be worth it if you are familiar with it, just so you can tell
people who dont' know any better 'yes, i know C#', and they think it's
something completely different and complicated. It will obviously also be
helpful if you ever need to do something VB.NET can't do (although for most
types of work I dont' think this is applicable).

But I don't think one or other is going to be marketable, because like I
said, they are pretty much the same thing at this point. But it never hurts
to know both - and it won't be difficult to learn the other once you know
one, so you might as well.
