with the direction the tech sector is going, you might have to take what you can get.

more important than the title, though, it the work that's being done. automating test cases ( as dws points out ) will bring you some of the experience you'd need to work in SW Engineering.

make sure that whatever job you take, you take one that has some room for growth. i actually started my career in the tech industry as a web developer - just HTML and Photoshop. from there, i taught myself what i wanted/ needed to know ( some SysAd skills, perl, now OO programming, some C, and so on ) to move forward, and wasn't afraid to look for a new job to apply the newfound skills ( if the current employer wasn't willing to use them ).
