One other thing.
You say your degree was in Data Risk Analysis.
I would have thought in this day and age with HUGE banks of hard disks holding important data, plus the risk from hackers, viruses, criminals, terrorists etc, that companies are crying out for people skilled in data risk analysis.
Try to locate companies that concentrate on data risk analysis and see if you can get a job with them.
Even if you don't want to stay doing that, once you are inside any company it is often possible to move to another department that may interest you more.
I started in IT over 40 years ago cleaning mechanical devices (it was all punched cards and huge printers in those days) but finished up teaching people about data warehousing.
THINK BIG, don't think small.
