Pesonally I would learn as much as you can from forums and continue to push your work while still earning. When you've exhausted that route or feel you're portfolio is getting there (which it may well be already), try for jobs in a dedicated vis studio. I worked as a sole visualiser in a arch/interior design company and used this and other forums to better my work, then last year took a shot and moved to a visualisation company, where i learned more in the first 2 months than 2 yrs on my own plus 2 yrs in education.

Hope this helps and good luck, lots of viz companies need people to hit the ground running but the higher end ones will usually recognise potential, invest the time in training and give you a break so aim high.
