Wikipedia knows it all

This catch-22 is tough for college students: one must have a degree to get hired, but cannot get hired without 1-2 years of practical experience. This cycle is infuriating for recent graduates. The few graduates that do land decent jobs after graduation usually have to work 15-20 hours per week at a job during college and, because of this, they may end up missing social events that university life has to offer without implementing adequate time management. These students frequently desire romantic relationships but simply do not have the time in college to gain or sustain them. Thus, they may end up with a job after college but long for a romantic partner and feel as unfulfilled as the graduates who have a partner and no job.

I actually agree, but there is a way for grads to get the experience without slogging it out- working for an NGO in the relative industry. That should help, shouldn’t it? They get to look good in their resume and the exp to back it up, while the NGO gets much-needed help.
