What is your degree? Can you get hired in that at all? Then, after getting hired in that, spend the next two years becoming the go-to tech person there. Take on any programming projects that they have, but if they don't have any, become the unofficial IT person.

Then you've got experience, not just a degree. You've proven that you can walk the walk, not just talk the talk. Leverage that into a "real" tech job.
