What are the job/career prospects like for web design and development?

I am considering getting a second bachelor’s degree, this time in web development/web design. I was wondering if this is an extremely tough field to break into and build a stable career. And what skills and languages are necessary to be competitive? Is it preferable to go to an art school or a technical school like DeVry? Thanks!

I’m in the IT field there is a shortage of Flash web designers. If you are just starting out I would suggest going that route about 100,000 salary a year starting and its relatively easy. O yea C++, Java-Script
