If you really want to get into the tech sector, work for free for yourself and then get a paid job. Teach yourself iOS or Android development, build an app, and then promote it yourself. The app probably won't go anywhere, but seeing an actual polished app that's actually being promoted and maybe even used by a few people looks really good to any potential employer. Then get a job at market-rate wages instead of selling yourself short.

If you value yourself at nothing, chances are your employer will value you at nothing too. They'll extract whatever free work they can out of you and say goodbye as soon as you start asking to be paid.
