How about personal betterment?

Until recently, I've worked almost exclusively in ASP, but recently I took
on a job that required me to start learning PHP too.
I now have two languages I can list on my CV instead of the one I had
before.

For what it's worth, the site I'm currently working on is using a
combination of ASP and PHP pages, and even a little touch of javascript.
I'm having great fun making the different languages pass variable values
backwards and forwards between themselves.
