Needing to implement programming skills in other careers

I recently came into a bit on an issue in my life: I have no job, and I have no idea how to make money in my current state. I've been looking for a game programmer job -hell, any job- for about half a year after graduating, with no-one accepting my applications for an interview. I almost came close to getting a job that could pay me some cash. However, that fell through after a misunderstanding on how the payment would be acquired. 

Throughout the past few weeks, I've been working on small prototypes in Unity, hoping to somehow finish a game within months or even weeks. As of now, I have very little to show for it other than a few things I call "complete" games (i.e. they include a main menu, a game loop, and a game over screen). I can't sell any of them, as their visuals are not much to look at and gameplay is very simple.

I would also be working for the first time (i.e. paying income taxes) if I were to get hired by anyone. I've had a fear of working retail, as it seems to be the worst way to get money (tons of work with little pay). I have a sister working retail, and she seems miserable there working from 9 in the morning to 9 in the evening. 

To be honest, I just want to work in front of a computer. It's where I feel most comfortable working, and it's where I do my best work. But, I know there are other jobs out there away from computers that pay well. I just don't know what they are.

I'm mostly writing now to find out how to break out of solely looking for programmer jobs and applying my programming skills into different jobs. I primarily work with Unity in C#, but I'm not sure where to place these skills in the state where I live. If anyone has any ideas for alternate jobs or careers for using programming skills, I would much appreciate it.
