<p>What are some skills (programming, license, etc.) you recommend learning to raise your employability?</p>
<p>CS
basic probability and statistics</p>
<p>Of course, your mileage may vary as to how successful you are at self-education of these and other subjects. Many people learn better in a structured environment of one or more college level courses.</p>
<p>Programming is a big one (I assume this is what ucbalumnus means by CS… a lot of CS is probably pretty tough to learn independently and of questionable immediate value).</p>
<p>Reading and writing are things any literate person can work on and make significantly better. Think vocabulary, literature, grammar, etc.</p>
<p>Public speaking. Volunteer in some organizations and take leadership roles. Get comfortable standing in front of a crowd and delivering a message. Learn effective presentation techniques.</p>
<p>MS Office products complement all of these things. Know them and other means of publishing content… web, blog, video, etc.</p>
