C# seems the rampant job requirement in the Tampa Bay, FL area {my sector of the world}. Since I am seeking employment, even after 10 + years developing in VB I wonder if spending my unemployed days learning C# is a benefit.
Specifically, will learning C# after all these years jump start my career again?
Will it lead to a job offer?
Finally, is it better to take a class or go the self-taught route?

You'd probably have a better chance with C# than with VB, even though .NET is the same thing pretty much. I say do some self-study. If you've been programming for 10+ years it should be really easy for you to pick up C#. I taught myself C# when I had maybe a year's worth of VB.NET programming knowledge.

Learning C# can't hurt you; I'll put it that way. It can only make you more marketable.
