[link|http://stlcin.missouri.org/citypers/jobdetail.cfm?PosID=40|School crossing guard] - $230 every 2 weeks for < 4 hours a day. It would get you outside, in a low stress environment, and give you a little income while you continue to look for a full-time position.

For a full time position, look at the following:

The MO Department of Corrections is looking for people, including people in IT - [link|http://www.corrections.state.mo.us/division/hservice/hrm.htm|here].

The MO Department of Agriculture is looking for someone to do weight inspection - [link|http://www.mda.state.mo.us/edit/m3.htm|here]. $969.50 semimonthly.

There are many "merit" positions in IT listed [link|http://www.oa.state.mo.us/pers/joa8009.shtml|here] - the MO Office of Administration.

You might want to consider working on a BS degree. [link|http://stlcin.missouri.org/citypers/jobdetail.cfm?PosID=228|Programmer/Analyst I] - $42k - $63.5k. A BS is required. Look into what it would take to get a BS degree. You should be able to get some credit for your associates degree, etc.

I was able to find these things in about half an hour of Googling. I'm sure you can do better.

Hang in there.
