Keep plugging away and looking at freelance work for smaller projects.

Find open source projects which are either front end frameworks themselves, or are looking for front end development.

For a full time paid role, try looking for graduate or entry level jobs. Some of the best developers I've met don't have a degree. Some hiring managers won't consider you without a degree in some computer science discipline, personally I use "graduate developer" as a role to mean "anyone with the right aptitude and basic skills wanting their first role".

Most importantly...don't give up
