+1 on the SE angle. Business focused software you are extremely familiar with or have worked on in industry could be your way in somewhere. Short of the wild situation in tech right now, there are usually good openings for SE roles and more companies are adding a more entry level option, like an associate level.
Could also make the transition to customer success and then to SE or sales. CSMs need a focus on account management, metrics, strong comms, and exceptional customer service.
I would recommend going for the SDR/BDR as OSL1 recommends. Get the basics right, prove yourself in the role and grow from there. Might not take long if you find a company that's growing fast. Where are you looking (geographically)?
