1. Deep knowledge of some subject matter.
1a. Ability to extract something implementable from the fog of business requirements.
2. Deep knowledge of some implementation platform and toolchain.
2a. A gift for defining and solving problems, in that order.
Then go hang out where 1. and 2. are, look for some quick win, even a small one, and be prepared to go deep into some other subject and some other platform at any moment. Your first real job will not be the first one you get on your own. It will be the first one you get because you were recommended for it by someone you impressed.
