As I've mentioned before, sometimes you need training to get into a new field. While most apprenticeships, with some exceptions, have gone by the wayside - Internships are still here. Who, it's not a dirty word. Interns can be paid and anything you do in the effort of being where you want to be isn't a bad move. You can always benefit from establishing a network and one great way to do that is to look into internships. Sure, it's not going to pay you the amount you're looking for right away, but be positive, do your job well and it's paid training. Think you're too old for an internship, I'm betting Interns over 40 would disagree!
I hate to do this, but Yahoo! again has a good post that you should read if you're having trouble staying positive in the job market. Their 5 Ways to Beat Job-Hunting Pessimism in 2010. Thanks to Audio Job Interview for sending that one my way.
Happy Hunting!
