1. Try applying to an embedded programming job. Or a dozen, better yet.
2. Take an "adjacent" job. I.e. find company that has both embedded jobs and non-embedded jobs; apply for the latter. It's easier to transfer within a company, because they know you and say "oh, psyc is smart, he/she can learn this" as opposed to "who is this psyc person? they don't know embedded". So it's a good way to get into jobs you can't otherwise get.
