You'll probably need to learn UNIX in a hurry. Graduating student? Take a look at those want ads. Big money employers have big metal rigs. If they're looking for UNIX programmers, the UNIX programmer who is comfortable with their big rigs will have a big advantage over some kid who only knows UNIX, Windows, and the Mac.
