Question:

What kind of jobs should I look for with a general arts degree?

I graduated last May with a degree in studio arts (general art degree, however I focused on sculpture with wood and photography). I am lost as to what career I should steer toward. I ultimately want to do something creative, perhaps make a product (functional art) of some sort, or something artistic. Any job ideas, or where can I start applying?

Go back and talk to your adviser. He or she will actually have resources for you in finding a job.

Only you can know what sort of career you want. A general arts degree can help you in any art field but limit you in the lack of a speciality.

Sculpture with wood and photography sounds like fine arts to me, like art for art's sake. There's not a lot you can do functionally with something that specific. With that you're best option may be to constantly and obnoxiously show your portfolio to any and every gallery you can travel to easily.
