A lot of you guys on this site have some real talent. I would recommend getting a job doing some kind of software development if you haven't already. Even if it is an entry-level job, you will do very well. A lot of people that do software development as a job haven't done the types of things you have to do on this website, such as the challenges and puzzle solving. If you can do things like that, you will do well at any job.
I know that a lot of hackers don't believe in selling out to big companies. You don't have to work for a big company, but you do have to get a job somewhere (unless you inherited a lot of money or something...) The sooner you do it, the better.

Well, that's what I'm planning... By the summer of 2009 I will probably start study at the largest technical university in my country, get a proper papers, and then work for some smaller software company...
However, I'm pretty sure, that someone who had been working as a software engineer for a few years, would solve all these puzzles within a few hours, so... idk

Meh.
The questions are often rather vague and unimpressive.
