PL/SQL is a must.
Very few people have an education specialization in software testing. Most of us arrived from a different path. What classes, specializations or skills did you learn that you find most useful as a tester?
PL/SQL is a must.
I believe the following skills, course or education will be helpfull to make a career in testing
1 - Testing Fundamentals
2 - How someone can make a career in testing
3 - what's the technical skill set you need
4 - Domain knowledge or functional knowledge (based on which domain you are targetting, like Banking/Finance, Health case, Insurance, etc....)
5 - Automation testing Tools (like QTP, Selenium, Load Runner...etc)
6 - How to deal with defects (mostly the defect management)
7 - Techniques and process in Testing
8 - Mobile testing
the list will go on....

From my standpoint:
1. English and general communication (since I'm from Brazil)
2. ISTQB
3. Java and OOP
4. Curiosity and motivation to perfection.
tough question and no easy answer. I would susgest reading Lessons Learned in Software Testing by Cem Kraner, James Bach and Bret Pettichord
The black-box software testing courses offered by the Association for Software Testing are fabulous (and difficult). Well worth the cost.
