If you can do the job without fucking my dog or setting building on fire... you're hired.

I would try an internship. I personally wouldn't hire someone for Java who doesn't have experience in it. If it's some obscure language, sure, I can see why someone would think "He'll figure it out" but for something like Java there is no reason to hire you over someone who's been a Java developer for 10 years, except maybe if you offer to work for free until you get a good grasp on the langauge, which I wouldn't recommend.

can't really afford to do an internship or "work-free-to-prove" kind of deal, I'm the breadwinner for my family so if I can't bring in money i'm shit outta luck

Try finding a php or perl job, honestly the transition from Python won't be that much of a jump, and I know for a fact my company would hire if you knew any of the three or Java

i've tried php and perl before, neither are what I would want to use for a living
