Build something and start contributing to the open source community. Once you have some work out there, I bet you will be able to find a programming job. A lot of great companies don't pay attention to your degree, they will just want good problem solvers who can learn quickly.

Github is your friend. Create an account and put some of your code on there (outside of work of course ;) ). I'm sure you could come up some a neat Matlab or Python tool to build.
