I would like a very entry level job in programming or in reporting.  I'm not 
worried about the offshore competition.  The advertisements say that after 5 
years you make 60-80 K as a programmer.

I have a degree in mathematics from 1989, a Master of Science in Information 
Management (from 2009), and more semesters than not I take a computer course at 
the community college.  I recently finished two semesters of C#.  I've take CS 
205 in Java, but that was over 8 years ago.  I just finished the first semester 
of Java.  I am now taking SQL Server.

I am  working on a Certificate of Completion in Programming at Rio Salado 
Community College.

Unfortunately, the ads tend to ask for a 4 years Computer Science degree and a 
year of experience (presumably as an intern or employed in your field while 
still a student.)

Also, I make in the low 40's with good benefits as an administrative assistant, 
and it looks like entry level jobs don't come close.

Do I have a chance without leaving Phoenix?
