Total of 6 years (my fault), graduated with honors. Can't get a job because I don't have experience. Countless applications out. Zero interviews.

Can't agree more. Managers normally want to see "professional" work experience. College, courses, certifications only get you so far. Working a year or two as a help desk technician will really push your career forward.

There's also the aspect of the managerial "I had to do it so why should you get to skip to the middle" attitude, which isn't fair but is reality
