If you want some real advise on how to turn your life around, start
on your attitude.  Its horrible.

First of all, if you want an entry level programming job, look for it
yourself.  Dont go begging anyone to do work for you.

Who wants to help someone who wont help themselves?

Who wants to hire someone who says they are "pathetic and sad"?
I never would.  If your not a competent programmer, then you dont
deserve a programming job, so you better study and learn till you
are first.  If you are a competent programmer than make that your
stance.  Dont talk about your personal problems, and to me it
sounds like your personal lack of self esteem is what is probably
putting you in whatever morbid situation your in.

Also, if you want a entry level programming job, dont except less,
dont joke around that youll take less.  Take your job and wants
seriously or no one else will.  Keep looking till you find what you
want, if you have to take another job to live in the mean time,
thats fine.  If your persistant and devoted youll get what you want.

Its not that hard to find a job if your looking in a generalized area.
Also, if you want "OpenGL" or something, and cant get it, take
another type of programming job in the same language you want
to eventually work in.  It shows experience in the job.

Also this post is close to SPAM.  Your going to piss people
off more than anything.  Why send this to 3 newsgroups?  Im only
following it up on each so that possible it will stop others from
doing the same as you is they read this response.

I dont want to hear from you again, Im not going to read any
follow ups to this thread.  The only reason Im even responding
this is because I hate to see someone destroying their lives
with their attitude.  If you dont take my advise thats your
own choice though.

Just think about this.  Hapiness and self esteem come out
of how you feel about what your doing, and how that
relates to you goals.  If you feel that you are trying to acheive
something good, and your really putting an effort out
you will feel good about that, even if the goal hasnt been
acheived yet.  Feeling good about yourself in your actions
will allow you to keep at it.  This is all you need to have
to succeed in your goals.  It really is the key to everything,
and its more in your attitude than anything else.

To the general news groups I appologize for the off topic
post, and Ann Landers-ish content but Im sick of seeing
these things and if a couple of people read this and just
never post this type of message again it will be worth it.

Its a pebble in the ocean though.
