It's all about who you know and experience vs. Where you got your BA from. A BA is not saying too much anymore anyways. Medicine is where you'll always find a job/career. I.E. RN, NP, PA, MD/DO

i was in the same position months ago. i know it is frustrating. i had 5 interviews (accounting position), and all of them said that i don't have enough experience in this field. i only had about 7 months of internship experience in a national accounting firm in ATL.

so what i did was i accepted a part time position in a small firm doing some bookkeeping. i even volunteered to help in tax department because i know that it will be an asset in my resume.

and after 6 months i got an offer for a full time job.
