How to get Computer Programming Job?

I have an Associate's Degree, working on BS. I enjoy programming and learning new languages, but I cannot seem to find a job developing. I've been in IT for 5+ years as level 2 supports, so I support applications, but rarely get to do any developing/programming. All jobs I find are requiring professional experience in developing, but how does one get job experience programming, if all job require years of experience. I have school experience and some personal experience. There seems to be no such thing as an entry level programming job, any programmers out there? How did you get started?

Update:

I just went to university and got a 4 year degree and 40k debt, now I have a development job : /
