Don't be so disheartened already man! You are passionate and proactive, use that to your benefit.

Most jobs may be bad, but you are good enough to avoid most jobs and go for the few good ones. Just hop on the bus to Pune, meet some people and get started. Maybe, you can start working remotely? Or commute once a week?

Don't decide between dev and admin purely based on opinion and speculation. It's probably best to try both out and see which you like more.

Edit: Don't just rely on asking HN. Rely more on asking local people around you. Beware the danger of using HN as an excuse for not taking real action.
