Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

You can:

work for newspapers & major magazines; freelance for ad agencies!.

do the visuals that go on billboards!.

design food packaging and wine labels

illustrate book covers - you can actually work for a publishing company - or several publishing companies

do fashion design or other specialty (a friend of mine used to design biking attire for Nike)

I assume you will take design courses as well!?

Here are some magazines you'll want to get: the HOW Business Annual!. The Communication Arts (CA) Illustration Annual (you can buy past annuals individually, or get a year's subscription and see how other illustrators - and designers and writers and art directors and freelancers - are doing and get tips from them)!.

PS I would definitely talk to someone at your college and get suggestions - from both professors and students!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
