It depends on the company.  In my experience (which is limited I'll
admit) smaller companies often look for someone with skills who can
learn  new things on the fly easily.  Larger companies look for specific
experience.

  Personally, I wish that college did not waste time with all the "general
elective" courses.  If it is important, get it all out of the way in high
school.

  All other things being equal, I suspect that comp sci classes 10 years
ago would give you the edge.
