Well Maya and 3dmax are modeling and animation software, so if you want to get into that, then yes you would need it. I can tell you after effects are used in more movies then combustion, shake, motion combined. Just keep in mind that its not the tool you use but "how" you use it. As far as jobs are concerned are you talking about freelance or with a company either way practice, practice, practice!! and make a demo reel and a proposal thats what they look at. good luck
