The way I see it, you have two choices.
1. Put in the 8 hour work day and go home to work on side-projects, side-business or hobbies. Ultimately, these things may grow to be something you do full-time and reap more financially than if you went the 30-40 year route.
2. Get in there and work hard. If it gets done in 8 hours, see if you can help a teammate - or better yet - scheme up ways to grow business for the place you work for. Do this enough and things will stick and you'll be seen as someone who builds value for the company, thus making you invaluable. This is particularly helpful when its time to negotiate salary (or depending where you work) a junior partner position.
Unfortunately, putting in 8 typical hours at a desk isn't going to get anyone very far.
