As a possible added bonus to learning Mono, more and more .NET development houses may begin to favor new recruits with Linux/Mono experience because Linux is becoming an important platform to support (not to mention Mac). We've already seen evidence of companies porting their .NET software over to Linux to run on Mono to either save themselves a lot of money (e.g. custom web apps), or to reach a wider market (selling their .NET apps for Mac/Linux).
