You also need at least a bachelors degree in art since most employers will not accept anything less. In your case, you are also too young. You can go to a graphic design firm in person and talk to them. Find out if maybe you can intern there or volunteer during the summer. Your other option is freelancing. I'm extremely talented myself and have an associates degree in drafting. Wanted to go to art school but couldn't afford it. Anyway, I did try getting a graphic design position, even had a portfolio of art I created myself. No employer would bother giving me a chance, even in an entry level position all because I don't have the degree. Talent alone will not get your foot in the door for a position in graphic design.
