STARVE like the rest of us. Joking of course (maybe).
By this point you surely have a goal with your art. If not you just wasted several years of your life. Sit down and with pencil and paper map out a plan. What is your goal and what will it take to get to that goal. Do whatever job you can find to pay the food and rent bills but keep your eyes on the goal.
You will need help. First get a good critique of your work. You may be a great artist but you may only be a good technician of your medium. There is a difference. If you get good critiques then press on to your goals. If not then enjoy your art as a side line and join the work force or go back to college. Very few artist earn their living in their chosen art fields. Get an agent and find a sponsor in a good gallery. All the great artists had sponsors who made sure they had enough money for supplies and food.
There are always street fairs and competitions to generate funds and patrons.
Lots of luck.

wait tables or work for free in various local productions.
That is the joke.
You must find places that need your talents such as archietural firms or graphic design shops. Maybe advertising agencies. Film, theaters. Look for places that need artistic help.
Other places is art school for children, including various children play and other programs.
The problem is that the Fine arts degree does not give you a normal job path, so you need to be more creative and find your own way.

Have you spoken with a person in your college's placement office? You may have some ideas after speaking with this individual.
Have you been researching this before you graduated so you know your options?
Would you be able to apprentice somewhere? A gallery perhaps?
I am not sure what Intagio is (I Googled it and got reference for graphics).
So, get on a computer, put your resume in Monster.com and hit send!
Also, check out graphics companies in the cities where you live, or where you would like to live.
In the meantime, you may need to work at other jobs while looking and updating your portfolio.
good luck.

Being an artist is quite scary. If you want to practice your craft, fine, but remember, you will be one step ahead of the wolf at the door.
I've been on this trip for years and you REALLY have to have a fire in the belly to pursue it. In fact, there is a very fine line between creativity and insanity. Sometimes I think i crossed it.

find a job so you can supoort what you love to do. speaking as a former art student, when i was faced with what major to decide on, instead of going for a degree in fine arts, i chose art education because i couldn't see supporting myself on my own artwork. so i have a job to fund my art works. unfortunatley the art world is so unpredictable. best of luck to you.

You can go work in a Symphony office. I am a youth programs coordinator for my local symphony and it is a blast. You stay busy with your community, plus you never loose touch with your arts.
