You might need to intern to get the experience. My kids all had internships over the summer while at college. All of them had great resumes after graduations and all were offered jobs with at least one place that they interned.
Look to places like the financial sector. Big plus if you can do analytics. Data science and data mining are still big.
If you have a cyber security degree, go the route of a federal contractor. They love entry level people because it allows them to throw junior people onto contracts and keep most of what they charge back for the resource. After 5 years of that, you'll have great experience and can start making the serious money.
If you're degree is general IT or, even worse, networks and/or infrastructure, you're pretty much locked into either small companies or government contractors. Might have to start on the help desk.
