It seems that most industries are more reliant on experience than education nowadays. I've encountered a lot of entry level positions that require 2+ years of experience just to be considered. It's kind of a paradox really, you need experience to get a job but you can't get experience without a job.

In my experience, "2+ years of experience" is not a requirement. I have gotten entry-level jobs in the past that asked for similar qualifications, but they accepted my (paid) internship rotations in its stead.

Most of the difficult part of applying for jobs is just marketing yourself correctly.
