I recently graduated and am seeking employment. It seems that every job requires 2 to 3 years experience, though. What are some areas in which I could gain this experience without having to go into sales?

my suggestion is to find any type of job at a large company. These companies promote from within and you will see what is available to you once you are in. For example: If you are the receptionist and a good one, they may give you the opportunity to be a project assistant in the marketing department. From there, you can get promoted and move on up to the good jobs. 70% of people either get promoted from within or know someone to get a good job.
I started renting cars and now am a Human Resources Director.
A friend I know started in the mail room and is a Vice president at a large company. Another friend took a really low paying job at a pharmaceutical company to get into their ranks. All have absolutely awesome jobs a few years later. They will train you... you just need to prove yourself first. you can do it!

Consider working at a large retail store (Target) or specialty store (Home Depot,Office Depot, Staples) ... or maybe fast food. If you're proficient with business machines or have computer skills then office work or data entry. Most entry level positions require minimal experience but some will ask for a minimum of 6 months. If you have 6 months experience such as doing the work on you high school campus or volunteer work many employers will accept that.

oddly enough, sales will open more doors than any other field. sales is rough but if done properly can show future employers that you have what it takes to sell. best entry level job would be something in management trainee. you may not be interested in the company but hertz and enterprise have management trainee programs, as do many other companies, that teach you all you need to know about the sales operation and business mangement techniques. with this exp, you would definitely be more marketable to other companies.

Insurance claims adjuster.
It is a very challenging job and the starting pay is not great ($30-40k/year) but there is a lot of room for growth. If you work hard, you will be promoted very quickly. Just be sure you join one of the bigger insurance companies and you will be taken care of.
Let me warn you though, the job gets very tough at times. But I promise, you will never be bored.
Good luck!

good and entry level are contradictory.
what is the ultimate job that u want? find some job at that company and work ur way up towards it...or find a job that will give u the skills to negotiate a job at that company later.
