How to get to entry level in software development?

What is the best way to increase my employ-ability or usefulness. I feel that since I can't even make it into entry level positions I wont learn the necessary skills needed in an actual working environment and I'll just keep getting academic experience, which don't get me wrong is wonderful. But, I'm starting to realize my age and still living with my family is putting a squeeze on the enjoyment I get out of college.

I'm a community college student half way through a basic Computer Technology associates. (I should mention I already have an associates that's basically useless) I haven't learned a ton from the actual school and most of my coding abilities have come from random tutorials and tinkering. Right now I've got no real professional skills when it comes to coding. I can do a good deal of basic stuff with a few languages. I can tie into API's and get meaningful data out of them, data extraction, and I've been playing with RPC calls and simple web front ends with bitcoin clones and ethereuem.
