[ale] Jobs?

[Casey Allen Shobe]

I've been looking for a new job in the *nix field 
for about a month and a half now...unfortunately, I have no college degree 
whatsoever nor previous job experience in a related field, so literally *none* 
of my emails have ever been even so much as answered.
 
I wondered if anybody else has been in this 
situation, and if so, how you got started?  Any good places to look for 
entry level positions in, say, a PHP programming field?
 
Advice muchly appreciated!
