I know a job you can get. Get yourself to Sacramento, California and look up the Fund for Public Interest Research. If you can be personable and articulate they'll hire you. You can make decent money (enough to live on) and learn some sales skills while you're at it.

Sacramento is also a great place to get some tech connections. The city itself has a great tech community, and you're only ~1.5h from San Francisco.
