It doesn't matter what technologies you learned at college, high school, trade school, or from books. Whatever it is, it won't be enough anyway. You'll be expected to get to work, use what you know, and pick up what you have to. For the rest of your life.
That applies to everyone in any field, whether you went to school or not.
My point was that while IT (which to me, means IT department, not software companies) may want those things, what they hire for are the tech skills primarily. And by tech skills, I mean a laundry list of frameworks and APIs.
The skills you mention seem to be reserved for the managers at the places I've worked.
