I'm still in my University program, and am writing this at my internship. I was COMS for a year and a half. After the first year, I was confident in Java (don't hate), but the only job I could get was contruction or an oil field job. I've been an IT now for 5 years. I recently switched to Management of Information Systems with a focus in security.
Anyways, after your first year of COMS, don't expect to have any jobs. Your more difficult programming will come next year, and then you will become a good asset for a company. If you REALLY want a job, reverse engineer a program that's already out there, or just program your ideas.
