Say what?

I spent the day searching the web for a job I am "qualified" for--for an assignment in my technical writing class. Although I am only 6 months away from a BA in English--I am so woefully underqualified for everything! What is the world coming to? Everyone has to have 5-7 years experience in their field before they can even get a job! It is a vicious cycle--to get a job you have to have experience, but to get experience you have to have a job! Blah! Hiss, hiss.....
