Any advice for a prospective web developer?

I know it takes time to get a job but it seems like with the amount of skill and drive I have I should have landed a job by now. I have had many over the phone and hangouts interviews and only 1 in person interview. Still I have heard nothing back from any of them. I get calls daily for jobs in Dallas, east coast, west coast but I have no way to move their or any money to do so.

I live in the Houston area and can't seem to find just a normal starter job. I just need to get my foot in the door some place, is the job market for web development just that insanely full? I turned down 2 different careers in Electrical Engineering and a management position to pursue programming because I love it so much.

So I am just wondering if I am missing something, some key aspect to being a web developer that everyone else has that I haven't caught on to. If you are interested in answering this question I would be most appreciative to any response good or bad.
