I agree with floe's mentality of going for a change in his life.
Seeing as martial arts was something you wanted to pursue professionally, and assuming you'd like to work in that industry in the long-term, why not go become an instructor?
I don't know what your experience is and how familiar you were with effective training regimes and technique, since those are questions that can only be shown in an actual test of your skills. If you think you're up for it, that'd be my advice.
You won't get paid much, unless you somehow manage to become one of those private trainers for the pretend-elite.
Alternatively, why not do evening studies at a university (or whatever else you have in the US), or 1-year intensive skill-building courses? That should help your portfolio and increase your chances for a better job.
