my personal experience is that a nice portfolio will get you in the door, but getting the job is about so much more.
most companies are looking for someone that can work with a team as well as independantly, can take critisim, can take direction, etc. Ironically, a McDonalds job may demonstrate your ability to work more than your portfolio, at least in an office setting.
My advice is to make some mockups, do some freelance, and apply to some places to see how the process goes. even if you dont get the job you'll get the experince of a real design interview. if you cant get a job right away in your field, freelance, and try for a lower level job related to your field, that way you can gain in office experience.
