I don't think I currently have any skills I could be paid money to do? I expect in most entry-level positions or graduate programs I could apply, I would be doing things that I don't yet know how to do that I would either be given on-the-job training for or just have to figure out as I go along. What sort of marketable skills might one have, as an undergraduate student without previous work experience, that I should be trying to think of?

That seems to be a problem. I think you should fix it.
If you can't come up with a convincing answer as to why an employer should hire you, chances are the employer won't bother to think one up for you.

That's basically the question of which job should you get post-college :-) There is a large variety of possible skills -- from accounting to website creation.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
