Do you always struggle with writing a complete sentence?

Unless you're a former Olympian or NCAA champ or you already know someone who can get you a good job, find a more lucrative career.

Volunteer at the best program you can and work your ass off for free.
Network until someone you know you can help you land a paid position.

That was the first thing thought of.

Getting a job- Volunteer / GA at a really good program at the division you want to coach, work hard, network a lot, don't act like a knucklehead, and keep building your resume. Also don't enact everything you hear from people; read, go to clinics, get certified in somethings, and figure stuff out as you go.
Other advice I'd give is to expect your first few jobs to be rough. This business ain't easy and ain't for the faint of heart. There's a bunch of knuckleheads who think they got stuff figured out who run stuff that no matter what will not change. Get over it and just do good work. Eventually your time will come but much sacrificing must be paid. Lastly don't burn bridges you may need to use one day, that day will very likely come.
Good luck!

Yes and No.
If you're a former Olympian and or NCAA Champ and know someone, you're in a good spot. The issue with these people is that they're not readily available and if so they're not cheap. If you can find someone with those credentials who can step in either for free (temporarily) or for cheap snatch 'em up ASAP! Once the word gets out that money isn't the priority for them and they actually really love to coach they're gonna get offers and get paid. If you're a school who gets this opportunity, and the coach is well liked, pay 'em NOW and lock 'em down.
