On db-engine rankings I don't think you have anything to worry about yet: db-engines.com/en/ranking. You could learn both but which one is primarily opinion based.

PostgreSQL
According to DB-Rankings.com, year over end,
- PostgreSQL is up +85.18
- MySQL is down the exact same amount 85.18
MySQL is still twice as big, but the trend is pretty pronounced.
