If you don't have a degree and you don't have professional experience, then don't depend upon programming jobs for income.
Apply for everything you can do, and a bunch of stuff you can probably do. Make some money and work on programming. Go to user-group meetings, code camps... anything to do personal networking. Getting a job (especially without experience) depends on who you know, not what you know.
