Going off on what Winney said:

I agree with others that it's near impossible to find a major-like job without a degree in that major. But I got this suggestion from a design forum once. Design studios like people with experience. But the Catch 22 is that you can get a job to get experience if you don't have experience. One of the forum leaders suggested doing clerical work for a design firm. And if the studio seemed over loaded with projects and they needed help, volunteer!

You may be able to do this with government jobs. While I hate doing clerical duties (answering phones, faxing stuff, filing) it may be a way in. And it's easy enough that you won't stress about it when you have other things to think about... like school. Gosh if you lived in Sacramento, you would be in luck. There are quite a few state jobs out here and that's basically what everyone does while in school.

As far as UPS/airlines: My dad works as a baggage loader guy for an airline. They do hire part timers... and from what I hear from my dad, they kinda favor them. (No benefits required=more part timers!) But my dad has some funky hours and his "weekends" always change. Depends on what department you want to work in. If dealing with stressed out travellers is your bag, go for it.
