How about, just get off your fat arse and do something.

You don't walk into any industry unless you've got some kind of massive skill set and verified references and then get plonked into the position you want. Start at the bottom in a relevant field, network, make friends, get promoted and at some point, probably when you're completely flogged to death and disillusioned you might end up where you originally thought you wanted to be.

I too have been out of work for quite some time. 8 months.
I guess when people say "hang in there" they are assuming that you apply for jobs on a daily basis like me and they are optimistic that one of those jobs will call you back.

you're a jerk

I am and have done exactly what you said. I'm aiming for the bottom entry-level position at any production group or research lab. My responses are, "oh you don't know anyone in the industry. You have a lot of credentials, but yeah we're looking for someone whose already friends with us." I try to make friends and I get, "oh hang in there you'll find something."

My roommate actually works for Fox animation. I took a tour and met all the producers. Emailed 5 of them. All said, "sorry nothing available now" and my roommate was like, "they just hired a bunch of people because they're friends of the producers."

Here's what you do:

Find out where the hiring manager, for the place you're applying, lives. If they have a dog, abduct it while it's out in the back yard. Hold onto it for about a week. Then refuse to accept the reward money when you return the 'lost' dog but give them a sob story about how you've been looking for work but no one will hire you.

Say, "I'm already in enough trouble not being able to find a job. I don't think I could look an interviewer in the face having accepted reward money from nice people like yourself." Then they'll ask what kind of work you're looking for and when you tell them, they'll think God let Mr. Pup'n'Stuffs out of the back-yard to go and find them the perfect employee.
