Honestly there is not enough information given for us to give a lot of useful advice.

Here is some information we would need to give more helpful information:

  - What type of positions / companies are you applying to? This is important, because I can imagine applying for dev jobs at small rails shops would be difficult because they are looking for people who can hit the ground running on day 0 (Ie: They are looking for rails at your last job).

  - My parents do not live anywhere near tech jobs. Are you located near a good number of tech jobs where you can cast a wide net?
