Considering a career as a web developer

[Chris M]

Varying what languages and skills you have to offer will ensure you get a good job - You need to mix and match web languages with some enterprise level languages...

Something like:

PHP, MySQL, CSS, XHTML, JavaScript, Java, JSP, ASP, .NET, C#, MS-SQL, Oracle

Its a good spread of languages and shows you have the ability to adapt to other languages, not just one or two...

This is good, because if a company is looking for an experienced coder with expertise in, lets say VB, and they are going to look at you, even though you have no official experience in these languages, and their first thoughts will be "he shows he can learn other languages" - This will lead to them believing that you can adapt and learn VB in a fairly short period of time, and someone who comes along with only experience in VB may not get the job just because he fits the requirements

Remember - They may be looking for VB right now, but in a few years time they will probably want to broaden their development, and maybe explore ASP or C# or even PHP, and the fact that you have a multi-language base to work from will make you more attractive to them for the future as well as the short-term
