I'm willing to put in the time to learn if I know it's going to be valuable.

I have never really worked with Droopal, but others do use it so I can't tell you much about that. Wordpress itself won't take you long to learn how to install and use, but the themes and all of the stuff you can do with it can get pretty involved. I have mostly taught myself how to do things. I can't build a theme from scratch, but I can modify existing themes for my needs. I would suggest just checking out a few basic online tutorials as far as Wordpress goes. You can be up and running in a day and experimenting with different things quickly.
As for scripts/programming. You might look into what the popular scripts that are used in the industry are. I know there are different tube scripts and CMS scripts that are used by a lot of people. Learning how to install those and use those could come in handy. Even if you only ever use it for your own projects.
Lynda.com has some great tutorials. I have watched a few of them. Also, make sure to check out Youtube. You will be shocked at how many tutorials people put up on there.
