I've got a little advice too. I've just changed my career in the last year from putting in flooring for 16 yrs to computers. What I suggest is unless your on the road to getting an MBA then quit that job and take any job you can with a computer in front of you for whatever they'll give you or even work for free! Even if it's data entry it's still in the computer field and you need to be in that environment. I studied my ass off during a 6 month program, wrote tons of program examples, went for my first interview, and even though the interviewer told me I was the most technically qualified, I lost the job to someone who had "done their time" in data entry. This job paid over 45K a year and only required computer literacy and an apptitude for programming.
I got the point, took a job with a startup, have been in the field for 6 months, and now I'm up for a huge raise and promotion to junior programmer. Finally my computer programming skills are being realized.

I wish you luck.
