No, you can have experince without work experince.

Have you installed some stuff at home, perhaps built a mock network using virtual machines to learn?

Studied for some certs to show you are learning.

Did you expect to finish school and never have to learn anything new? If so IT is the wrong field.

You may be able to get a very entry level job without experince.

Hell i got my first job because i knew more then the guy i was replacing. Usualy somone entry level needed alot of supervision and hand holding ... i needed neither.

My boss had never met a collage grad that knew how use exchange before, i even showed him a few things.

I was able to do this because i learned everything i could.
