I'm in the exact same position - got a BFA and now moving into design.
Not because of art world bullshit (and it is, to a degree - but I've found more pretension among designers than artists. No offense intended to designers out there, but designer != artist...sorry, two very different things.)
The way I see the job as a designer is to use strong visual communication skills to help marketing - help a client communicate their message so they make more money, which in turn makes you money.
I'm moving into web design and possibly other pursuits for one thing - money. And I also enjoy it.
