I'm considering an associate degree in computer studies, with a concentration in internet/web programming. I live in Silicon Valley and I'm currently attending a community college here.

Will I have good job opportunities with this degree? I'm hoping that I can get an entry-level web development job after finishing this major.

In this degree we study:

- .NET
- Intro to PERL CGI
- Javascript to AJAX
- JAVA
- Servlets and JSP
- PHP w/MySQL
- XHTML/CSS

Obviously I don't expect to be a wizard at these languages with only an associate degree, but I'm hoping to be fundamentally sound and proficient enough to land an entry-level web development job.

Please share your thoughts and advice. Thanks!
