Have you considered going to college?

Wish I could the system won’t pay for the college and I have no contact with family that’ll help

My best advice is to go to a coding Bootcamp. Nowadays, you can get a job within 6 months or less by doing an intensive Bootcamp. I wouldn't recommend going to college because it can be pricey at the begging to pay for general classes that you won't necessarily use on your daily job.

Wish I could do any of that but it’s impossible cause the position I’m in

Hi! How about getting short courses online? You might use it if you want to apply in startups. There are some startups that accept applicants even without a college degree.

That's true! I have done it before. You can get a lot done with those short courses online. Startups are always willing to get people that can hustle hard, and the OP seems to be one of them!

What are you interest or do you have anything that you are especially skilled in? Going to a trade school for roles like HVAC technician, electrician, or plumber can be lucrative jobs that help fund anything else you want to do.

I wish I can do any of that when I left foster care I have nothing just nothing no family to leann on just myself jobs alone won’t even hire me I just turned 18

Would trade school work? There are a lot of financial aid that you just need to apply for
