Grind out DS/A, math, and statistics problems to keep your knowledge fresh. Job hop frequently and increase your salary 15-20% each time. Specialize in a well paying field, acquire domain knowledge. Make 250k+ in several years and invest it. Retire early.

>CS degree
>Programming job
don't get a programming job unless you enjoy grueling and monotonous work
just be a network admin or some shit
Find something else to do or a hobby. Personally I'm thrilled with my job. I was working a fucking help desk and managed to get a position doing exactly what I wanted making what I made in a month in about a day. Feels fucking good to do shit you like and get paid good for an entry position too.

Marry well, buy a house, have kids and enjoy working because you have to and letting it drain the life from your soul anon.
Like the rest of us.
