I agree with David. I'd add, you are more likely to find a job if you look for a programming job in a specific skill you have, as opposed to a DBA job. Headhunters and most classified and job sites everywhere will likely want experience. You need to ask people you know (including your former teachers and anyone else you can network with) where you can apply the skills you have. Keep at it, eventually you will find someone desperate for one of the hot skills cheap, even as the economy comes crashing down around us. I got my first computer job when interest rates for home loans were 20%, through friend's dad.
