Don't panic! You will survive
I don't know where your from but there are design jobs everywhere.
The key is to look in places outside of the big design firms in your city. I is really hard to get work there as anything more than a Jr. designer (low pay)
I am currently working in a engineering firm in their marketing department working on their promotional documents.
Not the most exiting job in the world but I am getting good work experience and making fairly good money.
The hardest time for me was a year after graduating and most of my friends were still going back to school (my program was only three years while most everything else is four). I really missed my class and the amazing courses i was taking!
So while my friends were still living the fun student life, I was a full time "working adult" so I kinda went into a mid mid life crises at the age of 21 HAHAHAHAHA
Actually im still kinda working threw that right now! Thinking about a tattoo
..... sorry im rambling now \*^0^*/
