so what you do is research what jobs are needed in your area and do a degree in that

you have to keep up on this sadly all 4 years

and even then you need to be willing to move and should probably take a generally applicable field like engineering

all of this really requires some kind of support group at the age of 17/18

beyond that you have to actually focus on learning the material at the oversped rate likely to the exclusion of anything remotely fun

that said there are multiple job openings for system engineers starting post 4 year degree about 100k
