You can repurpose your skills in so many ways. Graphic design is connected to editorial, writing, artwork, programming, technical skills, web development. It's really as far as you want to take it
A marketing position in any company will utilize many of the skills you utilize as a graphic designer.
In addition, many companies would benefit from employees at any level with a graphic design background. Sign installation companies, small print shops, and even many print directories currently use only rudimentary graphic design, so graphic design skills in those businesses could dramatically increase business.
In addition, many car dealerships totally outsource web design for $1000s a month. An inhouse designer would save many dealerships a lot of money.

There are opportunities out there, you just have to go after them.

Graphic design and web design skills usually go hand in hand with creativity and aesthetic sense. As long as you have those two attributes, you can succeed in a wide variety of roles. For more on jobs and careers for design professionals, visit:
Many jobs prefer that you have some web design skills in addition to graphic design. The web is really growing, and there is much more of a need for it. I would say any corporate job in the marketing department, or doing graphic design work for any business.
that really doesnt make sense to me. If you are a graphic designer your work will be in the field of graphic design
