Get a job for a small company with no IT department doing some sort of office work or data entry. Automate parts of your job, or write reports for your boss. Now your boss will ask you to write more reports for HIS boss, and suddenly you are employed as a programmer. If you like that job, keep it, or leave for somewhere else that will hire you with a more appropriate programmers salary.
