    installing and configuring windows 2000 won't get you very far given that it was retired years ago. Visual basic also isn't very useful, and oracle is useless unless you want to be an oracle DBA.

    C is a good start, although its mostly been replaced by C++ now.

    I'm a qualified network engineer and have yet to get a job.

    Drop Internet and Multimedia, as well as Installing and Configuring Windows 2000 classes from your schedule. Those classes are fucking useless.

    You need to replace them with Computer Science III, as you will need 1337 h4x0r skills which will help you later in life. Trust me on this. I took Computer Science III. I know what I'm talking about!

    he may not have a choice. I only had a choice about one module, and it was either C++ programming or computer law. you had to do one of those two and every other module was compulsory, even the useless ones (HCI anyone? multimedia was also fairly useless to people on my course) I chose to do computer law, but with hindsight maybe I should have gone for C++ programming even though I would have hated it. It wasn't until near the end of my course that I found out that no-one on the network engineering course had ever passed the C++ programming module, and I know I could have.

    Network engineering was one of, if not the, most popular courses in my department, purely because it was the only course that didn't have programming as a compulsory module
    (it did, it was just titled 'advanced network routing' and no-one realised that until too late)

    Unless you land something specific or something very general, programming and networking don't usually go hand in hand when it comes to jobs. I would gravitate towards something more specialized, like software engineering or networking/netsec in the next few years but frankly you should do whatever you want to do and fuck the opinions of employers.
