Not having experience is a huge barrier to clear. When trying to get my first job I only had a minor in CS. I had 13 interviews before I got a job, and I had to continually revise my resume. Don't give up. Focus on breadth vs. depth in terms of jobs and knowledge. And don't worry about minimum years experience requirements on job postings. You can get a job that is for someone with 3-5 years experience; they just won't pay you as much.
