Yet you can't get the experience if no one is willing to give you a chance.

I was in the same boat. Not many will take a counselor wannabe without any degree and just starting school.
But it helps to sell yourself. Just pound on the doors and tell them that if they give you the chance you'll more than show them that they made the right decision (and they will have). Tell them you plan to get your Master's as you work there and that you'll do anything.
For my job when I was being interviewed I came straight out and told them the truth.... I needed the job desperately and I would clean shitty toilets and mop floors if I had to, just to get my foot in the door.
My honesty and the fact I showed that I had the passion for the job made it easy to hire me, and neither side has regretted it.
Amonkie, just go into an interview and show them that they need your fire and that you want to be there. You do that I guarantee you'll find the job you want..... and when you do you owe me a dinner..... lol
The best of luck to you beautiful.
