My advice depends on your level of risk taking. If you are risk adverse (like myself), then as you enter the job market I recommend you look for a position that interests you. Be selective. And in the interview process, be very forthcoming with what you know and don't know. (If you don't know something, and feign that you do, it will be a big red flag against you.)

If you are a risk taker (like a friend of mine), and are willing to work hard to build your own company, then have a vision, have determination, and make it happen. My friend is retired now, and set for life -- I'll be (happily!) working for many more years. But I'll never have 3 houses, multiple fancy cars, my own jet, and retired at a young enough age to enjoy the fruits of my labor.
