You've gotta give up this belief man. It's nonsense. People in many fields are in high demand, especially the medical and engineering fields you mentioned. I don't have a degree yet, but I'm hired as a software engineer and my team is having trouble hiring more people. Not enough good ones apply!
I also work while going to school, thus solving your "no work experience" idea, which really isn't as big of a problem as you might think. Also, remember that employers want years of experience in the field you choose. They don't care if you spent two years working at a supermarket.
There will always be work for dedicated people, whether they work for someone else or start their own company. Given this economic situation, going to school is a GREAT idea right now, if it's what you want to do, because by the time you graduate, there will be even more opportunities. The economy isn't going to stay in this slump forever. It never does.
