Persistance. Apply for jobs in the field. Expect to start at the bottom and work your way up. Apply, call, and re-visit. When hired, be there, be dedicated and loyal and focus on satisfying customers. After a few years of showing you can be relied on to do quality work and show dedication...the money will come.
