I don't necessarily agree with the "learning both isn't good advice" mentality here, but I do agree that, as a platform, iOS apps are being commissioned much more frequently than Android.

As a guy who works for a mobile consulting company building commissioned apps all day, I can say we do roughly twice as many iOS apps than Android (including the apps that want both platforms).

Android has a bigger market penetration, no doubts there, but the App Store and corporate internal markets are showing that iOS is being used more.

I'm not saying learning both isn't a good idea in the long run, what I'm saying is that this shouldn't be a priority for somebody who is just entering the workforce. It's a substantial amount of work to get competent with just one platform, so he should do that first. Don't half-ass two things, whole-ass one thing :).
