Get a real degree? Get another degree? Get a job? Your options are far more limited than they told you at the uni careers day! But fear not, many of us have been there before.

When i graduated from my degree, I was already working... which worked in my favour.. a lot! I just went to work more. I was learning more in the office than the classroom anyway.. so it didn't matter much to me.

Moving right along, the secret to getting a good job isn't a degree, it's being able to perform the job. However many places wont look at you without the degree, so having it is a good thing. Now, if your degree was anything like the one I did, all you need to do now is hone your skills so that you are actually going to be useful in a studio somewhere. You have to be 110% confident that you can perform any task in the role that you want to fill (it also helps if you live with your parents ;P since the entry level salaries for designers, at least in Oz, are shitty at best).

So, find some online tutorial sites for your software of choice, and get cracking with making sure there is nothing left that you don't know about ;)
