Colleges/universities in general
It all depends what you are willing to accept. Most colleges and universities don't pay up to so-called industry standards, and administrative positions are jack-of-all-trade positions, but many do have programming/sysadmin positions available. You may find yourself doing dull stuff like writing reports that do budgeting or writing SQL that manages donors - but it's better that than nothing. And, while there are plenty of PHB's in colleges, the atmosphere in those I've been at has been more low-key.
Where each demon is slain, more hate is raised, yet hate unchecked also multiplies. - L. E. Modesitt
