What do you do to support yourself financially?

I'm currently unemployed, but looking to get some kind of entry level IT job where I gain experience. But damn, the job search in the US is terrible. Half the entry level jobs already require 1 to 2 years of experience right off the bat which I don't have. Honestly I'm not even looking for much money, just enough so I can afford rent and feed myself. It's ridiculous how hard that has become nowadays.

Have you tried an internship approach? I know they pay very little but that gets your feet wet and gain experience professionally.

My second suggestion is work for yourself. Find a small business and pitch to build them a website.

You'll make it.

I'd gladly take an internship. It's just been tough finding one.

I've actually been thinking about picking up web development. I don't really have any knowledge of it, but I think I could do it.
