There is a lot of good advice in previous comments.

I'm just wondering, how is that you say you can code and you cant find a job / project to work on. I did my first project for money in PHP when I was 16 - no degree, no experience and not much code to show - just few HelloWorld playpen projects.

People rarely ask developers for a degree and even if they do, once you have impressive code to show is worth much more.

So my advice would be maybe harsh but simple - stop complaining and get working!

you can always use "drug dealer's" method - do the first project for free :)

Can I ask how you got those jobs and what you got paid?
