Since further schooling is out due to funding I would suggest to you to try to become a game tester - granted you will need to be very passionate about the job as it usually isn't very good pay, but like someone else said it will get your foot in the door.
I'd suggest you look for "smaller" game companies - up here in Ontario we had/have a company called "Groove Games" a guy who I went to college with worked there, the pay was crap and was part time to boot, it actually cost him as much to travel to Toronto 5 days a week for 4 hour days as he got paid :P
He eventually worked his way up to become the QA lead there. I have no idea what he is doing nowadays though.
Unicorns ARE real - They are just fat, grey and called Rhinos
