In my opinion, pretty much anything having to do with web development is probably a safe bet...

Java, javascript, html, css, jquery, json, xml, xsl, soap, sql, jsp, jsf, groovy, etc...

Also Java web frameworks: spring, hibernate, struts, stripes, etc...
Web servers: JBoss, Apache, etc...
Databases: Oracle, MySQL, etc...

In web development, the platform is usually a linux box, so you probably want to get familiar with using linux.

However, it's equally important to consider what companies you eventually work for and what you work on. Much web development work is easily outsourced. However if you can manage to find work at a company that works on sensitive government projects that cannot be outsourced due to privacy or security reasons, then your job will be much more secure and usually pay more.

As a case in point, I used to work for CSC on a project for the US Army, and now I work for GGI Federal on various projects for the EPA. Due to privacy and security concerns, none of the stuff I've worked on at either job can be outsourced. The work isn't terribly exciting or sexy, but the pay is good.
