No, I got that. And I simply strongly disagree. There are lots of people who have reasons for not having any "experience" coming out of school due to external time constraints. Single mothers, for example, have it particularly hard. Any single mother who manages to drag herself through a CS degree has so much persistence that she can definitely do your job. As I point out, many students with hard time and money constraints try to compress the time to get their degree. The best way to do that is to take heavy course loads with no summer breaks and not do employment.
