Tell HN: I’m a wannabe developer, who works as a construction worker

[I’m a ~20yo male]

I’m mostly looking for a remote position and I have a relatively strong (Junior) background in programming but can’t communicate orally properly, especially at interviews, especially behind the phone…

Because of the fact that we travel a lot with my family (and I’m required to be with them) I can’t find a job at Walmart/Costco/… cuz they all take time to be applied and the moment I get applied we have to move…

So I went on Kijiji/Craigslist and similar websites to find a instant cash job.

TL;DR: I (a wannabe dev) ended up working as a construction worker (no experience, instant, cash job).

I got my iPhone, MacBook and some other accessories through this way (cuz I’m an Apple obsessed user).

Tired of this much work, my body hurts ;)

Any advice??

Edit: I wanted to ask anonymously, this isn’t my true username.
