MGregory,
Find a local integrator and offer your services. You'll be sweeping floors for a while, but gaining valuable experience. Hang out with their programmers and take on small projects whenever possible. From time to time, RTI and URC offer free or inexpensive local training.
Yup, this is the best advice that you may receive, my friend. Experience is always the best teacher.
