Get a better paying job once you've got some experience. Raises won't keep up with your value.
Don't work yourself to the bone. There really are plenty of jobs that only require 40hrs/wk and pay the same or better.
Work somewhere with a good culture.
This is extremely important. Your best raises and title changes will come from changing companies, not internally.
After a number of years with my first company (a household name), I quit and got an 80% raise. Based on how quickly my new company accepted my salary request, I'm pretty sure I could have asked for more.
