It also depends on where you live. Some places are just not kind to the tech field.

That's where the money is like it or not. Your options are LA, San Fran, or Washington.

Of course I have thought about taking a new grad job down there for a while and trying to work my way up. It would be a massive pay cut for me and there is no guarantee that I'd be able to parlay it into a non-retard job, plus there is always the chance that I'll just be ignored due to being overqualified.

I just finished the programs last month and I am still waiting for my transcripts so I have a little time to think about what I should be doing.

You working with a recruiter? They can help when you have no contacts in the professional field.

Also think beyond just the tech companies. Many many companies you would never dream of hire in house software developers. The work isn't always the most exciting and the projects may suck but at this point of your career you want to eat some shit and get to Intermediate level.

Must have missed this part of the OP.
