I also noticed those BS requirements long time ago when I was fresh grad.  I was in engineering and saw a junior engineer job posting required 7 yrs of experience.  WTF srsly...

Even back then, most entry level big corporation office job would requires 3 yrs experience already.  Unless you got co-op, no way you can get into a decent job fresh out of school.  I know a few straight A top of class students ended up studying in Master degree right after U grad coz they don't wanna deal with this kind of ****.

I don't suggest ppl go for PhD because no entry level job would consider him/her, while non-entry level job or managerial job would not consider PhD due to lack of work experience.  PhD is best to become professors or researchers for gov't.  This is just what I personally experience when I graduated.
