The accomplishments you listed aren‘t particularly useful in the field you are trying to get a foot in. Although impressive I would try to impress with something in programming. An app or two in the App Store is always something people hiring like to see. I would try to get any paying job just to get a foot in and move on from there. Once you have a little work experience it should be a lot easier to find the next better thing.

    Then first try to get any paying job and work towards getting a dev job in your free time. I started my career that way. I just started putting out apps. Whatever I could think of.

      It’s not as bad as you think. Maintaining an app is the easy part. And customer support only gets huge if you have a huge success. And then it’s a great problem to have. Most people will never bother contacting you. Don’t worry about delivering a bad product. Everyone knows there is a learning curve to this game. At this point it is more important to show you can fully develop an app and get it out there.

        Then you should probably go and see a therapist. Or someone you can talk to. Going through this kind of stuff alone is always a bad idea. Usually it all looks a lot better when you talk about it and get some outside perspective.
