      <description><![CDATA[<p>
On the PHP Zone today (part of the DZone network) there's a new article that asks "<a href="http://php.dzone.com/articles/can-learning-drupal-get-you">Can learning Drupal get you a job?</a>". They look at some of the trends and popularity of CMS systems and wonder how they could help your job seeking potential.
</p>
<blockquote>
The question is - should you bother to learn it?  Learning new skills is always helpful to your career prospects and Drupal is gaining more recognition, but an experienced developer with expertise in a specific area like Java or .NET probably doesn't need Drupal skills to get a job.  Large website developers and less experienced developers however, would see a lot more benefits from learning Drupal.
</blockquote>
<p>
According to <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-13846_3-10458748-62.html">this other source</a> and <a href="http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=drupal%2C+Joomla">a graph of job posting matches from Indeed.com</a> for both Drupal and Joomla show a huge climb in demand over the past two years.
