Get a PhD.
/snicker
Most likely I'll be kicked out in a year, live at home with mom and dad and get a half-assed job somewhere for a time before moving out with a more substantial job that I'll probably loath.
On the off chance I do actually get a PhD, I'll go get a post-doc somewhere, probably here in the DC area but possibly in southern Italy, and maybe eventually get a permanent research position at some government lab.
