I agree about interactivity vs. print and schools being a little behind the times. I see a lot more job offers requiring knowledge of Flash. I'm more interested in digital and most of my portfolio (school work) is print, so I'd have to constantly tell potential employers that I want to design for web/screen.
The few places I spoke to, no one required the ability to code and design but it was definitely a plus. Not so you could actually do both, but just so you could be designing for a medium you are familiar with all aspects of.
Also, it seems to be a big plus if you can handle video, or at least be interested in it. The web is integrating video pretty fast. There's broadcast designers but not so much interactive types who can do video. I could see a demand coming for people who specialize in that.
