According to TIOBE's index of most popular programming languages, C# and VB.NET are some of the most popular languages used. C# is the5th most popular this year and VB.NET is the13th. In my opinion, there is very little point in learning both C# and VB.NET as they both utilize the .NET framework. Choose the language you are most comfortable with and stick with that.
However, it all depends on what kind of developer you'd like to be. Here are some of the popular languages in each category:
Web development:
ASP.NET with C# or VB.NET
PHP
Ruby on Rails
Computer:
C
Java
C++
C# or VB.NET (Windows exclusive)
Objective-C (Mac exclusive)
Mobile:
Objective-C (iOS)
Java (Android, Blackberry)
C# or VB.NET (Windows Phone)
Mono for C# (iOS, Android)
Yes, certainly it has a huge scope as VB.NET also became open source.
Also C# as strong as Java and more strong in some topics.
