WHEW, I see we are all having "a moment".
But to answer the question of why do you need experience for an entry level position...well I'm not going to really answer the question but tell you how to gain the experience. INTERNSHIPS!
When I graduated in '94, I was a Director of Communication for a non-profit organization. I graduated in May and began working in June. Needless to say, you all, I have 3 internships under my belt. For those who are still in school and/or just getting started, don't wait until your junior year to intern. I had an internship every summer from 1991 until 1993 and in 1994 I started at $30,000. INTERNSHIPS, that is the key to the experience these employers are looking for in employees.
the411, we will chat soon I'm sure because the problem I'm speaking off may not effect those who attend predominately white universities and if not then that's another topic or possible dissertation topic for the Ph D.
I like this dialog you all!
