What should I do with my Graphics Degree??

A student with a creative degree has hundreds of options upon graduation.  This is a great niche to have when being tossed out in the unforgiving economy of 2011. Many companies crave those creative minds to help build or reenergize their company. Below is a small list of careers that graphics degrees may lead to:

Freelance Designer

Web Master

Jr. Art Director

E-mail marketer
Animator
Game Developer
Photographer
Press Operator
Branding Specialist

That list is a very small taste of the opportunities a creative degree will bring.  Developing and maintaining a portfolio is a necessity when stepping out into the workforce. This will demonstrate your skills to the employer in a quick and fascinating manor.  Also, it essential to have a digital portfolio in this world that is dependent on the web.  Not only are your visuals important to employers, but your knowledge of software with a degree to back it up is what will set you a step ahead.  Next, show that you hold transferable skills that you have earned through research, time management, self management and communication.
