IDS's are becoming a thing of the past if not already there.  but what
you listed sounds like some good tools to become familiar with.  I
suggest looking into security plus for certifications.  If you don't
know so already, I also suggest getting familiar with doing everything
from a terminal.  As the appliances my company use are *nix based... and
without really knowing, I would suspect most of the rest are the same.

I cant really talk for getting into security as mine kinda fell into my
lap.

Good luck on getting that first job after school... Its not always an
easy thing to do.
