Experience is one of your job qualifications. If you lack experience, you are not qualified.
Most all (US) universities have connections to provide internships whether it's a cushy paid one that could eventually lead to hire or crappy unpaid one that will at least look good on your resume.
My university even requires 1 year of in-field work as part of its senior course path for several majors so you can't even graduate without having at least 1 year of major related job experience. Of course, by graduation you should have 2-3 years experience if you took advantage of the options available.
If you coast through uni just expecting a job spoon-fed to you after graduation then it's no one's fault but your own.
