Look into local technical schools (like DeVry, for example) and toss your resume in. Typically, they look for folks with industry experience and good people skills. (Not to mention a lot of patience.) Do you have a degree? That helps, too.

I could handle maybe one, two, or three people at once. Not 30 or 40 people. If I do, I risk a panic attack. I have a fear of crowds. "Will code Visual BASIC for cash."

No personal contact required. I mean, it seems a shame to let your talent, training and experience go to waste. (Jeeze, now I sound like your mom....)
