Last year I was doing D2D (appointment setter) solar sales.
I want to switch and do either PDR or roofing, as a storm chaser. But I'm really struggling to find companies, got any leads for me? Thanks!
I would do that, but is it actually likely to get me a job? I feel like I'm just grasping at straws, chasing so many different possibilities where no one will hire me because I'm too unskilled, instead of focusing on one thing and getting really good at it.
I do apply to low-level roles, but I have to also apply to roles I'm not qualified for. While there might be e.g. 9,000 listings for React roles, maybe only eight of those specifically state that they're open to juniors, and each of those eight will have 300+ applicants.

I am on both SSI and SSDI, so I have the asset limit.
I worked with the local voc rehab, and both agents I had refused to help me with my career goal until I first worked jobs that I am not physically capable of, which they very well knew to be the case. Like they wanted me to work at McDonalds...

Same issue though, I don't have two years to wait :\. From what I've heard, medical coding may be a reasonable role for me to take until I get a programming job, but again it's possible that I'll be homeless in six months if I don't have a job before then.
Yeah, I'm not even insisting on high pay. I could probably even do O.K. on 40k, which is very low for a junior dev. I believe we normally start at about 55-75k.
The problem is that there's potentially nothing else I can do to support myself. For example, I can't do customer support because I can't spend that much time on the phone due to a different disability. I prefer not going into a list of all my disabilities, because people get annoyed, lol. I...
Background
Unfortunately everything hit at once. COVID, SVB closing, massive tech layoffs, higher interest rates, etc. While it may have been difficult to get a remote job as a junior software dev for a while, it seems to be essentially impossible now.
I’ve been trying for a year to get a job...
