Basically the TLDR is I ran out of money and need to earn $5k USD to finish my degree. Been working on adding things to my github (http://github.com/weems) and website [ (http://weems.de). I am still trying to expand my skillset but largely I am Java, Python, Ruby, HTML, JS. Like so many others I am having trouble breaking into even the most entry level positions that require 2-5+ Years Experience at Minimum. Not a stupid sob story, I know I am not alone. Just trying to find the best way forward.

What do you mean by "trouble"? are you getting interviews? How many jobs are you applying for?<p>Consider working somewhere else to make $$. I drove a cab for a while to make ends meet. Its nice to work in your chosen field... but sometimes its impossible.<p>Keep plugging... Drop ruby focus on java... more $$

Depends on how aggressive you are and what personal expenses you have. If you're smart most startups in the Valley won't care if you have a degree if you're willing to work hard and are effectively a new college grad. (Good experience for low pay is startup compensation default) Happy to help if I can (contact in profile). I never finished my degree. Didn't make a lick of difference.

Try talking to your university -- sometimes they have small loan options or may be able to qualify you for a grant, especially if you are very close to graduating.
