> Find what interests you and focus on it!
There are different ways to interpret this. I think most people think of programming related technologies.
But remember, software runs almost everything. Which means that, with your programming skills, you can work in almost any industry that uses software.
So besides thinking about what about programming interests you, think about what in the world interests you. I've been fortunate to work in: shipbuilding, airliner manufacturing, , telecommunications, finance, web development and medical device manufacturing.
Besides the programming technologies, the subject matter is usually at least as interesting, if not more.
It was really cool walking under 747s to get to my office.
