grafiske,
get a job as a jr. put in a couple years.. you might get lucky.. if you really have it together and get a job as a mid level straight out of college. and well.. thats impressive and not many people can swing that.
there are some things school just cant teach you and you have to learn on the job. thats what being a jr is all about. dont jump into some
if someone is offering you a high up position to you fresh out of school.. i would be careful. there's a reason why they'd give a kid that much responsibility. its because either they cant pay, the company sucks, they want to take advantage of you, or they really just have no idea how inexperienced you are.
it would be way better career wise to take a jr position at a really awesome firm than to take a high up position at a crappy one. they'll probably pay you the same in the long run anway. working at a shitty firm can really fuck up your portfolio later. just a thought.
hope that helps.
p.s. don't try to start a buisness until you have some industry experience or you will drown.
