I used to program industrial applications on DEC machines. I moved to a rural area with limited opportunities, so I worked as a financial consultant and taught MS Office programs part time at the local Community College for about 6 years. I want to get back into development, either as a programmer or as an analyst documenting system requirements. I am willing to move whereever there is work, but my resume isn't attracting any attention.

I am working on a MCAD in VB.NET, but I am wondering if that is the best door opener I can use. I wrote a desktop application in VB 6 last year that used an Access database and SQL, and I am current on Excel, Access. I have a bachelors in business admin.

Any suggestions for what I can do to get my foot back in the door? (Actual money-earning pros respond, please).
