context : I'm a graphic designer. I designed some t-shirts a while ago to benefit Japan Relief.
Your tshirt's logo is much too large on the shirt, generic, and pays attention to none of the principles of design. The typeface is pretty ill-suited to be going with the script, and I'm not really sure why anyone would purchase something with the 'x' logo.
Get a book, practice, practice, practice, and go through 10 or so revisions, then come back and post here. You may not be good but you'll be a lot better than you are now.
If you think this is mean, well.. you should have heard some of the critiques I got when I was in college.
If you're wanting to improve your design skills, I recommend Design Basics Index.
Most worthwhile university art/animation programs require a portfolio, but it does vary by university and you will have to research this on your own.
To help you sharpen your drawing skills and observational eye - I highly recommend getting the book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. Do the exercises faithfully and you will become better at drawing because it teaches you how to see.
I've coached students without a portfolio in their final year of secondary school and with the exercises in this book, they were able to get a worthwhile portfolio together. The results were truly outstanding.
Graphic designers require less figure drawing skills, but it is definitely an advantage to be able to draw and communicate your composition ideas to clients. A great basic graphic design book is Design Basics Index
Chances of getting a job are the same as any industry.
