Impressive style anyway ! (it reminds me of "Valdis Story")
As not a lot of people do that kind of ultra neat animation, you may want to start by doing "animation packs", while people get used to it.
Like some artists do for SouceFilmMaker gifs or 3D productions.
Making a dozen animations, with background and ambiance on their own, putting them in a pack, to be sold on one site or another.
(I... know they are websites specialised in selling pictures/animations packs, but I can't remember names. Zedlabs.com, maybe ? Don't remember, sorry)
This way, you can still show a little of your work so people knows it exists and try to figure out a way to use that, and can still have a short term practical goal for it on your own.
Everyone throws pointy rocks at me if I'm wrong, but I feel like people here are not really about the money, but are more into trying to do nice stuff, before thinking about selling it. (I'm not judging anyone here, been on both side, personnally ! And still am, I think)
Not sure you knock at the right door for finding a professionnal loaded employer, but hey, doesn't hurt to try, right ?
