I think it’s well work investing in CS6. I wouldn’t worry much about CS5 as it’s on its WAY out since CS6 is such a nice update. If you know CS6 you’ll be able to get around in CS5. The new Adobe Creative Cloud is a more AFFORDABLE way to get into CS6 without a large upfront cost since it’s a new subscription model.

FCP7 is still good to know since there are a lot of FCP7 installs out there but I might not buy a copy unless you know you need to use it or LEARN it for a paying job. And for what it’s worth it might be worth checking out Avid Media COMPOSER (free trial here) as well.
