Start your own freelance business and get a bit of reputation by doing low-level work like web design for local pizzerias, restaurants etc. - no one gives a about convictions when hiring a web designer.

It's how I managed to stay afloat (although, I am in Germany).

I don't really enjoy taking the time to make things look pretty. I'm not very good at that part of the design process and it takes too long for me (imho) to produce some aesthetic that will never really be functional outside the scope of organization.

I have done it when I've needed money though. Just aggravates me.

Get a theme from Themeforest, customize it a bit and you're done. Quick money to grab.
