“Entry Level” jobs not actually entry level? And advice for a recent college grad?

Hi everyone. Has anyone else has trouble finding entry level positions that don’t list 3-5 years of experience in field as a job requirement? Or list expectations that seem unreasonably beyond entry level? I’m a recent college grad with a degree in business/marketing. No relevant experience or internships. Just looking to get started. But the job search has been very stressful. I worry that I will be in over my head in some of the positions I’ve looked at. The expectations described seem overwhelming for someone with no previous experience. I’m worried about ending up in a very stressful situation. Not worth with being miserable to me. Would you still apply for a position if it claimed to be “entry level” but wanted experience in the description? Anyone have issues with this?

Is there any advice/ things you wish you would have known just starting out? I just want to earn enough to get by while maximizing my life outside of work. My current job is unskilled and too low of pay to live. I worry about being stuck working long hours, my entire life devoted to just work. Any advice on how to maximize work-life balance?
Thanks!
