C language is a must for any unix system.
Assembly might be usefull for career in security or real-time low level hardware programming & high performance.

A good background in math is a good point in any career (security : cryptography)
Architecture (algorithm optimisation, benchmarking testing...) Programming/design (Video Game, signal analysis image/video/audio)
Network (statistic analysis...)

Whatever career you choose, your salary may be in proportion with your skill so : focus on something and become an expert (whatever the domain you choose, System administration, Network, Database administration, Programming, SAN/Storage ...).

Regarding to what the industry ask for : more and more web oriented things SOAP JAVA skills are very appreciated anywhere.
Just keep in mind that more and more programmation task are outsourced in low-cost country.

Get good books, understand the concepts, practice, tests & understand what you do. That's just what you will do if you are a self-learning guy.
