i'm trying to become wealthy the hard way, by working my @ss off. i need help...?

i don't know the first thing about business or marketing. i can illustrate, animate, edit photos and videos- all school taught of course. i am in the process of earning my degree and would like some suggestions, in detail if possible, from experienced wealthy people, on the first thing i should do out of college. what steps should i take to climb this tall, tall ladder to success? i've got the drive and talent i just need direction.
