Answer 1

I'm not a programmer but have worked the business side of IT and software development. You can undoubtedly get a job without an internship. But don't trash the idea of an internship if the opportunity presents itself.

Typically the reasons for seeking an internship include (1) it gives you an opportunity to see if you like the field. (2) You get to evaluate a prospective employer. (3) The prospective employer gets to evaluate you. (4) You get to put some of your training to use. (5) It gives you an “in” with a prospective employer. (6) It looks good on a resume. (7) And you do get paid for it.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Change your attitude. Calling common sense advice "idiot" won't get you a job.

And apply for the jobs, that's the only way to get them. OK, I've had a few offers from having my CV on Monster. There's also Dice, and a few other places to look. Just let people know you exist, they can't hire you if they've never heard of you.

You can find better experts on the IT industry at Linked In (if you don't mind losing your anonymity). And there are job listings there too and....And less silly answers too.

What other kind of answer do you want?
