I'm talking about breaking into the industry. You just need to get an entry level job or two that will probably suck, then work your way into the niche you want with job experience. You probably won't even really actually know where you want to ultimately go until you've been working for a few years and had time to gather new skills that you didn't get in school.

Exception being academia, but if you wanna do that just go get your grad degree, and by the end of that you'll have a way in or have learned that academia sucks your life force out for far less than the industry pays.
