As a fellow not so young CE Grad here are my thoughts:
1)Take and pass the FE. Do what you can to get design experience and get your PE. Even if you never use it, having that PE behind your name will bring you places.
2)Find an employer that wants to invest in you. Most good employers will fund an MBA or MsCE if you are doing consulting. Take advantage of it early.
3)Max out your 401k or company match.
4)Do an FSA.
5)Join ASCE and the younger members group to be around folks your age
6)Find your niche. For me it was structures, but thats not the case for everyone.
Good luck!
