learn as much about prepress as you can man. like some above have said. so many designers these days do ridiculous shite like use 4 colour images in a 2 colour job, etc etc. if you learn how it gets from the screen to the paper you'll have a huge benefit above the others who would be competition for jobs.
also, start doing other stuff after hours, during work, whatever. if you treat the day job as a base income to keep you afloat as well as learn from you'll be able to take on more interesting work for clients that have little cashflow (or free) or for yourself. stuff that a different day job may not allow due to both time and headspace.
