Job Hunting Fustration

Why did I go back and get another degree, to open doors for a new career, and I find myself in the same spot again. A lot of lower pay jobs ignore me because of my education. Then the jobs in my field all seem to be higher level jobs, experience a must or they want experienced workers. How is anyone supposed to get experience if they never start working in that field. Experienced is nice except for the rest of us at square one.
