Got my associate degree last year in medical administration but can’t find a job because I don’t have any experience ,which I don’t think it’s fair because everyone has to start somewhere

I agree. However, my experience has shown me that fairness has nothing to do with reality. I have 30 plus years exoerience, am retired, and want a part time position. When i ask for 25.00 per hour, they look at me as though I have2 heads. I do not think it is an over ask with my skillset and accomplishments.
Thoughts anyone?
