Trouble finding first job?

I have a general associate degree, but I have no paid work experience at all. I have been trying to find a job but it seems impossible. I don't want to work at a restaurant or gas station. I really am not able to work on the weekend, especially Sundays. I have been looking at all of the online and newspaper job listings and it seems like just about everything requires you to have at least one year of experience, even if it's an entry level job, or more education than I have. It doesn't seem to matter that I have an associate degree because it seems as if everyone has one these days, if not a bachelor's. And I figure even if they don't list an experience requirement, someone else will apply that has some experience so they will get hired. Most places that I would be able to work said that they won't hire me if I can't work on Sunday. I did find one place that is closed Sundays but it was way too far to drive every day. Also, I don't know anyone here and neither does my family, so I can't really 'network' and find out who might be hiring. None of my friends knew of anything either. I want to start making money so I can get my bachelor's degree and get a real job someday, and get some experience too. Any ideas at all, please post. Please, no work from home online or survey scams. Thank you.

1. Depends on what type of thing you are into. an associates degree can't get you much if you are looking for real commitment. If I were you. I would get a small job to help yourself make it through college a few more years.
