College student about to find first ‘real’ job (RANT)

Ok like the title says I’m a college student about to graduate and am trying to find a job. I’m not sure if I’m just inpatient or unqualified or if the job market sucks right now. I have applied for probably 2 dozen jobs at this point, some in my field, others not so much, and I have had one interview (could not take the job though), gotten two rejection notifications and that’s it! I’m getting sick of applying to jobs because I feel like I’m throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks. No one is getting back even with a simple ‘Not interested’ email or whatever. So many entry level jobs want masters degrees, years of experience and other skills that seem pretty ridiculous for an entry level position. I know I’m ranting but I’m just getting annoyed already and I haven’t even had a real job…

So many entry level jobs want masters degrees, years of experience and other skills that seem pretty ridiculous for an entry level position. I know I’m ranting but I’m just getting annoyed already and I haven’t even had a real job yet. I did have a job at a grocery store for 6 years before I had to quit for school but still! Please do not think I’m being a bitchy rich kid because I’m not! I’m just tired and annoyed already about trying to find a job that I can live off of! I’m also jealous of my friends because it seems like they know what they want to do and can get there easily while I’m stuck here.
