New to the EDI profession...HELP!

[Bradley A. Linboom]

Thank you in advance to any who take the time to respond to my post.  I got into EDI by accident...through a temp agency who needed someone who knew computers, and in my area I was the only one (smaller towns will do that I guess).  After 4 months in a company who used GENTRAN: Server for NT, without an EDI Co-ordinator and with the help of a Sterling Commerce consultant, I was able to get a decent grasp on what I was doing...including mapping of 800 series documents X12 standards.  I have kept up since then as much as possible, (it was a full-time summer job) and am interested in getting back into it now that I have my bachelor's degree (unrelated field).   My question is thus: Is there anything I can do to get into the field?  Most of the jobs I see require 3+ years experience, well, how do I get in and get that experience?   Thank you for any help you can give!
