You have to stay very focused in the graduate school. And here's what your focus should be:
"Graduate! Get a job!"
Your goal is not to change the world. Your goal is not to come up with innovative ideas. Your goal is to:
"Graduate! Get a job!"
Your professors want you to develop a new course?
"Graduate! Get a job!"
Your professor forces you to attend guest speaker presentations (usually by a his or her buddy on a topic you don't care about)?
"Graduate! Get a job!"
No matter what kind of stimulus you get from your PhD program, repeat this mantra three times before you think of anything else:
"Graduate! Get a job!"
"Graduate! Get a job!"
"Graduate! Get a job!"
