vb or c#

I know this question has been asked over and over again
But I'm currently doing VB.NET development and just finished migration of a
VB6 app to VB.NET(asp.net) web app. I wanted to do the conversion in C# but
time didn't allow me to learn C# as I went.

My question is in my area all i'm seeing is Jobs for C# developers and even
online i'm seeing examples, tutorials, etc, in C#. should C# be the way to
go or just stick with VB.NET?

I've been doing VB.NET programming for 3 yrs now and comfortable with it.
Should i stay on this road or learn C# and go down that path for future
programming jobs?

Do both. C# is really a breeze to learn once you've done VB.NET.
After immersing myself in it for a week last summer, I felt very at
ease with it. You already have a leg up since you've already coded
to the .net framework.

I create primarly in VB.Net, and I don't claim to be great at it yet, but as
part of my .Net study, I also buy C# books for advice (I use the C# Text
Manipulation Handbook quite a bit for parsing and math). The code is
extremely close in structure, with relatively minor syntax differences.

I started learning VB.NET and realized that it was simpler to learn C#.
Turned out I like C# a lot more and I've always been a big basic fan.
