I got my first job as software developer when I was still in university, it was a small company at the time and it was actually a paid job. The salary was entry level, but the fact it was paid allowed me to not just get hands on in writing and testing the software, but also to feel responsible for delivery and learn to own the product.

Another important fact is that there is a shortage of software developers everywhere in the world, you should be able to land something even with no commercial experience as long as you have basic knowledge and problem solving skills.
