The best way to figure out what is relevant in "real world" jobs is to apply to the jobs you want and figure out what your weak points are.

(Same thing with products -- try to sell a product and see why people reject you. Your product here is yourself.)

So try to get an internship in Silicon Valley -- or even apply for jobs, with the cover story that 'I'm ready to jump into something more real-world than the classes I'm taking.'
