Hi everyone! Hope you all are doing well. I graduated last may and now seeking jobs. So I got a question, when it comes to questions from employers, they ask how many years of graphic design experience do I have, does my bachelor degree count? Thanks a lot!

Technically you're not supposed to include the years you studied at college. However from my personal experience, many entry-level jobs that say "2-3 years of experience required" are just lying to you. Often times employers do this to try to scare more people away from applying. If you see a job that you think you'd be qualified for even if you don't have a lot of work experience, apply for it anyways because the worst thing they can do is not offer you the job.

Unfortunately they don’t

Nope, but if you took some internships, I would maybe count those.
