Dude go get some work. If you are tech savvy then put yourself out there. I have less than a year of programming experience and I turn down more work than I take on. I don't even market myself beyond an odesk profile and a blog/resume. It is really that easy, but if you just sit there and feel sorry for yourself, you'll be in the same spot in a year. Go send quotes for 20 feelance gigs in the next week. Work for 15/hr if you have to... in a few months that will be 50/hr and more work than you can handle.
