Answer: Computers is a game of doing. If you do not delve with your hands on a live project all knowledge quickly depletes or becomes obsolete.

Yes, times are tough for those in the field. They will be tougher for those out of the field. The employer would rather take a software person that trying experimentation with you. It depends on you how much you want to wait and hold out. In my advise, do not wait unnecessarily. Get in to a useful job ASAP and keep trying for transition from 'within'.
