It really is crazy, and I see both sides. Many college grads start out with MOUNTAINS of debt, and colleges have brainwashed them into thinking they paid so much for their degree that they can expect a high paying job as soon as they graduate, which just isn't reality. I know my company starts entry level IT technicians @ $35k a year, which is a little over $16/hour. In many cases our beginning technicians have college experience (2 or 4 year degree) or some training certs from a tech school. If you are the typical college grad with a huge amount of debt, rent, and a car payment that doesn't allow for much wiggle room.
Expressing that you are willing to learn, put in the work, and grow with the company goes a long way over telling an interview panel how experienced you are (you aren't) and what you will do to change things.
