Look at Computer Bank. Put together a detailed proposal to them and see what they can come up with. Think big! You could write the program that automates the paperwork with the dole people and release it as FOSS. You can then get a helping hand from the govt to create a small business aimed at supporting that FOSS software on an ongoing basis. Now with your experience you build your small company to do other support and you are now using you software to assist other WFTD programmers to work with FOSS and generating a stream of loyal programmers into your company as it grows. Why wait for someone else to take on your great ideas.
