College is not votech. This is your last chance to learn, soak things in like a sponge. Write a compiler, write an assembler, build a robot. Learn physics, take biology, master linear algebra. Go to a professor that intrigues you and offer to work on a project with them. Take some boring business classes and learn valuation techniques, and how to do DCFs. Build a robot. Go to the free evening concerts and learn you some Bach. Join the school TV studio and learn about that. Write a program for them to put interesting information on the screen during sporting events. TA an algebra class and learn to teach. Build a robot. Wander the library stacks, pull out a book that intrigues you, and find yourself reading about fossils, or signal processing, or 20th century ballet. Read a literary journal. Write some poems. Go sit in on Astronomy 101. Take some EE courses. Build a robot. Join ACM and set up some campus hackathons. Build a robot!
Strive. Excel. Learn what you are made of.
Or, you know, quit and go get you some cash.
IOW, college was friggin' awesome. I'd hate to go back, I'm done with assignments and directed learning, but wow did I drink deep when I was there. Plus, so much of what I've done in my career was only possible from college.
As an aside, you mentioned DC. If you stay there, you know how much work there is from the federal government there. Don't scoff, I did most of my stuff for the Government, and that included cancer statistics, flight computers, robots (have I mentioned robots yet?!), and more. Everything required a college degree. Both just in the job requirements (contracts required the workers have a degree), and then also in the nature of the work.
