I'd say figure out something you actually like doing - and then try to get paid for doing it.

Programming, writing, teaching, whatever... If you're getting paid to do it, then that's 40 hours a week of practice and learning. You'll get even better at it, leading to better jobs and more money. Getting that first job can kick off a whole chain reaction.

Some people say first job out of college is important. It sets the area where you'll make contacts, and lays the groundwork for your next job in one specific direction. But I changed careers later -- that's always an option, too. Maybe the moral to all that is: just try something. Make a wish.

Dream a dream, then make it come true.
