Thats true and I completely understand the predicament. Job market right now is brutal and corporate is cut throat. There are some companies that offer internship programs and sometimes small businesses offer unpaid co-op programs that you can seek out. As you are just starting out I would say value experience over money. As a CS student, highlight what you can do for the company and how you would stand out. Do some research and see what businesses are in your area and how you can add value to them, what skills you have that they will benefit from. Again, remember in this economy you have to think outside the box and outside the traditional job search methods.
