No wonder CompSci grads are unemployed

Any advice?

I'm a first year CS student at a middle-range uni (poor A-levels after I get bored out of my mind teaching my fellow-students VB because that's all our school taught and our teacher didn't know it), and I've been disappointed to find out the truth of this article first-hand over the past month. We only seem to learn Java, so I'm trying to learn C++ in my spare time.

I consider myself a geek, and love playing around with all things computer-related - always have. Does anyone know what a poor hapless guy like me can do to avoid falling into these traps and becoming the kind of grad fretted about in the article?
