hey i was wondering if this is a good plan.

I am currently a junior and heavily interested in computers, from how the operating system works, to how a processor runs instructions. Earlier this year i was offered a job by google but need a bachelor's degree in computer sciences. I currently know lua, c#, c++, python 2. I'm thinking about learning assembly, java, and c this year and for my senior year i was thinking about learning html, javascript, and css.

would i have a good skill set for a work environment and college? I believe i would.

idk, they were watching what i did, invited me to join a project (project foobar, a shotgun approach to hire people), and i passed their tests. I got an email from one of their recruiters, saying i had bested their puzzle makers and testing, asked for my degree and where i went to college, and wanted to contact me further on what location and team would best suit me.

only about a few hundred people are invited every year, only a few pass.

https://www.google.com/foobar/ here's the link. unless you've been invited you'll just see a door asking if you've been here before.

work and collage usually require more that being able to program in several languages, if google are interested in having you though, you are probably in a good spot.
