Don't get so discouraged. There are quite a few companies that hire fresh college students for QA jobs. I know couple of people who got job in QA without the help of desi companies (which I don't want to talk about on this thread... that could be another new thread...) If you want to get a QA job seriously, prepare yourself. Start working on automated software tools (winrunner, load runner), know UNIX and scripting, start reading on how people do software testing. And on top of this, look seriously for a summer internship on any company. The best thing you can prepare yourself for job is gettting summer internship, even it pays less than your regular job because it could be the single most factor that could get you real job later. Good luck
