How to start a designing career

I'm currently a Communication student. Looking to change my career path to some sort of a design related one with no related experience.

How do designers get noticed by clients? How are jobs done and paid? How to learn and practice your skills and creativity? How do designers spend their working days?

Any advice and experience from anyone helps.

Thanks!

Great design resource
