I'm not sure this is meaningful as a path to employment in the US if you don't actually get a degree at the end.
I've gotten calls from at least five recruiters this week alone all excited to have finally found someone who's at least done some C only to realize that I haven't finished the community service hours for my degree (I've done all the classes but the university won't officially confer the degree until I've finished this, that's made my summer pretty complicated which has actually made it a lot harder than it needs to be, thankfully I'll be done in a couple weeks.)
What you actually know only matters once you're hired (at least for your first couple jobs.)
But it is always good to be learning new things and if that's why you're doing this than good! I've been teaching myself violin and I can definitely appreciate classical music more because of it, I absolutely don't expect it to get me a job.
