Since when do interships (paid or otherwise) require previous working experience?

Graduated back in late December, and since then, I have yet to find an internship or a job that I can take on.

I literally encountered a water company employee yesterday who DOESN'T know how to read or write. Heck, he can't even speak English which, from what I know, is somewhat of a requirement nowadays.

So that's 6 years of my life yearning and paying countless bills and tuitions down the fucking drain.
