Maybe not the advice you are looking for but why not keep your current job and do some editing on the side? If you can use a camera you can do filming and editing on the side. A birthday party, weddings, things like that and you can film it, edit it, and make some cash like that.
Also if sports is big in your area, kids love having some highlight tapes done and you can make some good money from that. I have a buddy who strictly does that and he makes good. This way, you stick with the editing job in the business and you help build up your resume by having this work on the side and continue to stay strictly with editing. Keep copies of your A + material for reference.
