What kind of jobs are you looking for, and what skills do you have (if you don’t mind me asking)? If I know of a good match I can try to make a connection.
That’s actually a question I’m working through right now. Almost certainly something in programming. Probably something in web development, though I’ve been strongly considering trying to break into games, and other than that I’d like to do something actually worthwhile. I’ve worked programming web surveys software for a long time now, and I’d ideally like to do something more important than market research with my life.
what skills do you have
I’ve been working as what I guess you’d call a “full stack web developer” for about 5 years. I’m great at solving problems using algorithms, and passably good at all of the object-level things that go into front- and back-end web development. LAMP, not MS.
I also have some skill with academic research, philosophy, and probably some other amazingly useful stuff I won’t remember till I need it. And I’m conversant with all of the literature on Machine Ethics and close to an expert on logic and Computer Ethics. Also, I have the stereotypical New England good work ethic.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, I’m really excited about online education (a la Udacity) and will probably look into opportunities there.
