More worryingly, who the hell would learn VB if they have strong C skills, more worryingly than THAT even, why would an employer want someone with C# AND VB.NET???? Cripes, if you're going .Net use C#, not VB.

It doesn't sound realistic to me, they would be more successful drawing a line down the middle, VB OR C.
