There are few jobs that require only writing skills. Most jobs will want effective writing for some specific purpose, which requires specialization.

Journalism
Technical writing.
Translation. (Including academic, technical, or medical translation.)
Copywriting.
Publishing and publishing services.

Within each of these fields, there will be different approaches and frameworks; you might be able to freelance or seek a permanent position; you'll find particular areas of expertise and specialization; different positions will carry different nuances and different responsibilities.

Once you've got some training and/or experience in your particular field, you'll get a much better sense of what your options are. Even simply choosing your focus will help you figure out what to ask, and find the most relevant people to speak to.
