How to become a self-made graphic designer

I`m about to start my last year in the college, that`s why I decided to read some inspirational and motivating text about the graphic design.
Today I read an on-line article on http://wegraphics.net/  wrote by a self-educated graphic designer, who managed to enter the graphic designer world after just 3 year of self-study.  Despite being a full time economy student he decided to pursuit new, completely different career. In his article he shares his experience and gives advice on how to become a self-made graphic designer. He describes step by step his way through self-education.
This article is full of useful information about educational materials available on-line for free as well as inspirational sources.
The author cites many websites with easily understandable and very helpful tutorials.
I find this article very inspirational and motivating. It made me realize how powerful hard-work, patience and self-discipline are.
