I was looking at jobs. For some jobs i see you need a min. years experience. Actually this is for most of them. How do you get like 10 years experience in the job selected if you need to be in it 10 years before you start? help im confused

Unfortunately, you are right. Many positions are those that require a minimum of so many years experience. One thing that many people do is start out with a company in an entry-level position. That means a position that is below what you really want to do and doesn't pay what you really are probably worth, but you accept it just to get into the company and prove your worth. I am sure you have heard how many people start in the mail room and then work their way up, slowly....applying for a little better position and then a little better position than that. At the same time you are working your b*** off in these positions which are below what you really want to do....going above and beyond what is expected; going in early...staying late; working when others do not want to work. You get the idea. This is one way to work your way up in a company. Thought I would just throw it out there for your consideration. Good luck.

Yes I agree with you. It's not fair to people like yourself who is looking for a job and needs to already have the qualifications.
As far as the employers go, they really need to consider training a younger person who is looking to stay in that job for some time. Instead they are looking for people who have already worked in the same industry elsewhere so they don't have to 'waste time' training them from scratch.
If I were you, I would go a place where you are looking to apply for a long term job and ask them if you are able do some work experience. I know that its taking up your time and your not going to be paid for it but unfortunetly for the people who do actually want to work, we've got to do it the hard way.
Doing work experience will look really good on your resume/CV. Show's a strong will to work and your really keen. It will take time to get into what you really want but it will make you appreciate it more once you get there.
Good luck!
