I think the absolute most important thing is to find something you really like doing. I don't mean as a hobby. I do mean a job where you get to do what you do best. Only about 17% of the people you ask would say they get to do that.
I started with my current company more than 25 years ago after working for a few other companies and other lines of work. I now make $150K plus and I can't imagine retiring - I just love what I do so much. I have moved up over the years and also been willing to move to other locations.
