It sounds as though cash is your primary concern. Let’s face it, cash is important, but most importantly you need to have the desire to succeed. Do you want it really badly? That's a serious question you need to ask yourself. Yes, financially it may well be something of a struggle initially, however, if you stick at it I’m sure things will eventually fall into place.
I really do think employment wise things are pretty bad. But then again I don't think they're ever 'good'. The key is to make yourself the best candidate and hope for an opening somewhere along the line.
Good luck pal
