The best thing you can do , IMO, is to spend a large portion of your time getting better at what you are already good at. Practice every day, whether its writing code or skateboarding or whatever it is that is your craft. Become aware of your weaknesses, but don't spend too much time improving them, just enough to know when they might become vulnerabilities. That will allow you to avoid situations where they may affect you negatively. You're going to have to scrape by for a bit to earn the right to a good job, so be humble and try to work you way up from something that may seem below your talents. If your quality of work shows that you are competent and hard-working, doors will eventually open up for you. Don't ever act entitled; always turn the other cheek. Be consistent and persistent. Good luck!
