The first thing you'll need to assess is how many hours per month you'll be able to work. That will determine a lot. You'll barely make minimum wage on sites like oDesk. The internet based freelance market is in terrible shape right now because offshore workers are getting jobs for being the lowest bidder. Quite simply the online market is nearly impossible for people from developed nations to get by on. Posting ads around campus probably wont do much as most students are broke.

What do you want to do once out of college? That will dictate the classes you want to focus on. Most universities let CS students take concentrations within the CS degree. I don't really see any value in the certifications you are taking, those are all technician and network admin stuff.

Make sure the Java and C++ classes you take at the community college are going to transfer, http://www.transfer.org is the best tool to figure that out.
