Forum Thread: Next Steps

I want some advice from the experts and more advanced: What should I go about next?

If you've read some of my posts I assume you know some of the stuff I understand and some of the stuff I can do. However, here is a compiled list:

-I know how to install Kali Linux off a USB, as well as using it on a VM.

-I understand how to use Linux - The different shells (vi, Z, etc), how to change permissions, go to directories, copy, compile, edit code, etc.

-I understand how to hack WiFi (WEP, WPA, etc.)

-I understand the basics of metasploit, from payload creation, to setting up a listener, and getting a meterpreter shell

-I understand how network works, from public/private IP, to setting up a FTP server, etc.
-I am capable of using password cracking tools, from hydra to john.

I know thats not all, but you kind of get the idea.

I can write code in HTML/CSS (I've created a website with bootstrap), and currently learning C++, and Lua.

Thanks for taking the time out to read, and please help suggest things that will help with this. I am wanting to become a full-time pentester after finishing HS and college, so I really appreciate some advice!
