4 easy steps to getting the graphics job-o-your-dreams:

1. Get your Bsc.
2. Get your Msc/Phd in computer graphics.
3. Get published in SIGGRAPH.
4. Wait for the job offers.

The alternate route:

1. Get your Bsc.
2. Get your Msc/Phd in computer graphics.
3. Get published in SIGGRAPH.
4. Start your own company.

Easy!
