where do you work again? ;)

What are the entry-level jobs for hires straight out of university
typically called?  As i've mentioned before, a lot of job postings
tend to say 3-5 years experience, or masters/phd, and while i seem to
fit the spirit of a lot of job postings (having recently graduated
from university) i have always felt extremely pessimistic about
dealing with job requirements like that.

Interesting stuff though, i'd love to hear more (i think also some of
my naivety comes simply from my inexperience w/ the job world, so as
much as people want to complain about unqualified n00bs who are just
hunting jobs, remember that some people aren't clueless, they're just
inexperienced!)
