My 2¢: spend at least a couple years working for a reputable design firm or agency at first. You'll learn indispensable things about project management, client/vendor interaction, terminology they don't teach in school, etc...
I've got about 6 yrs. experience, 4 of that studio/agency. My plan was to spend a few more years at another firm in a more senior role—get a better sense of the business dev. side, and get some management experience before going solo. But in my current jobless state and in this economy, the full-time freelance thing might happen sooner for me than expected.
