construction work, custom metal/wood fabrication, teaching (not at university though if you don't have a MFA), model maker, foundry worker, welder (you should get whatever welder certificate your state requires), build stage sets at a theater, animation, rapid prototyping, go on and get a MFA, be a sculptor (if you can get enough shows and comissions to live on) or get any daytime job to earn some money.
Basically it depends a lot on what skills you learned during your study. While you are studying you should also try out gallery internships, get shows, and take any opportunity to get some work experience like in foundries, wood working shops, welding shops, potteries or whereever your particular interest lies. During your study you also should learn the conceptual skills, but if you also acquire practical skills which have a wide application, that will definitely help you to find some kind of job afterwards.

The most likely job for one who has studied sculpture is to do sculpture!
It is sometimes hard at first, because they teach you all about art and not a lot about business and selling, which is unfortunately even more necessary to making a living as an artist, than the art skills themselves.
Finding Art fairs, galleries, and competitions and getting entries in on time and then getting the right work to the right shows, can make a big difference between doing very well and being a "starving artist"
There are also many industries that make things for commercial businesses that need sculptural skills. Having a big fish that says "fish" on it, over a fish counter in a grocery store is an easy example.
Of course there are many other jobs that do not involve actually doing the work, but it is more satisfying to be the designer.

unless you wanna teach or curate in a gallery your best bet is to do commissions, while you may not be able to live off this alone you are keeping your own dreams alive and doing something you blatently love... :) ... good luck.
