When you are young and everything is fun and making a mess is the highlight of your day, you don't think about finding a job and the experience you might need. 

But now that you are past that age, what jobs can you get that don't require experience?  Several careers have entry level positions that can enable you to get in at the ground floor and move up from there:

• Retail Jobs - Office or Retail Stores
  
• Restaurant Management - Entry level training or waiting/bartending
  
• Hotel Management - Receptionist, Concierge, Front Desk
  
• Apartment Management - Leasing
• Online and eCommerce - Plenty of online resources for starting your own business
• Americorp - For those in or about to finish college it's a great starting place
• Writing - If you are good and can show your work wherever you did it, you might try freelance work such as Elance or Guru
• Banking - Starting positions are always available

While you might not be able to start at the top; there are opportunities available based on education, interests and willingness to produce whether the economy is booming - Or not!
