I got my degree in CS a decade ago, but wasn't able to get my foot in the door finding any entry level position in the field. Had to give up and work a shitty unrelated job elsewhere, but after letting it drain my my soul for too long I've spent all year searching again. But no matter how many resumes I fire out into the void I have yet to get as far as even a single interview. It still feels like my degree isn't worth the paper it's printed on. The only thing recruiters want is 5 years of experience in some technology that came out 2 years ago, and I can't get experience because I don't have experience.
