Well without a family connection (relationship, claim to nationality etc) then to get a work visa then you would basically need an employer to be prepared to offer you a position and then they would have to apply for a work permit on your behalf. That work permit would not be granted unless it was proven that the job is of such a specialist nature that no-one else in the total pool of labour from (not just the Netherlands but the) whole EEA area. Therefore even a University graduate with no work experience is going to struggle to meet the requirements even in with the right ecomony (ie loads of jobs and few applicants) You can read more about the details of it here in a question I answered a while ago for another American interested in the same.
