Set up mainstream design company/site

Because mainstream pays better than adult. Especially once you establish a reputation, and start doing development work for corporations and NGOs.


Start a blog with tips on web design

Use it to generate income both from advertising and from promotion of your mainstream design site. At the start, it will be just a blog, later on it should develop into a full-fledged site (including static guides), and even later a community (including a forum at the very least).


Give away freebies

Use them to promote the blog and your mainstream design company. Develop several WP themes, a bunch of customizable logos, maybe an icon set or two.


Work like a crazy guy, instead of ranting like one

Because 5 years from now, you want your income to be in the mid six figures.
two more

Keep strong opinions to yourself. You do not get paid to win arguments on message boards. Pick your battles.

Keep your chin up. No matter what you think, or anyone says. There is always someone out there worse. Ask the homeless person, or the next dude holding a sign if they will trade places with you.
