I'll add one more thing. Very few of the jobs on Craigslist are "sexy." Ignore the sexy jobs. Once you get your foot in the door, your options expand enormously. The adage "no one cares about your grades after your first job" holds fairly well, especially in this industry. I got that first Craigslist job in the summer of 2013, and was only there for five months (it was a horrible, toxic work environment). I now make more than 5x what I made at that first job. Whatever first job you take doesn't have to define the rest of your career.

I second this. Get some practical experience before trying for the "sexy" job.
