Go back to school in debt or do sysadmin work? (pricefield.org)

I feel like the post's title does not do this one justice, anyway, I recently graduated college with an associate's in computer programming, however, I honestly lack skills beyond very basic programming skills. I have ADHD and autism and have a ton of trouble self-teaching myself things, I managed to teach myself some intermediate skills in docker and general Linux system administration when I was younger and still use it today. I feel like getting a job as a sysadmin might make more sense but for some reason, I feel like on paper my resume would just hit the shredder.

I lack min wage work experience as I did not work in college and I kinda wonder if I have the work a min wage for like 2 years to get a normal job. and if I should get off HRT cause min wage jobs in the south don’t like trans people, and that it’s just gonna get banned anyway

I looked around at private before and most require some level of repayment while in school, including interest repayments. Federal does not but I am limited since my parents don't want to cosign.
