Spend a ton of hours getting google certificates as part of a program that will be cut within the next year or two with little notice or empathy towards folks that have put time into it.
Also of course don't pay for the certificates, IT education is already free.
I may be not familiar enough of the situation in US, but to study for a new job, people generally make compromises: staying with the family so that they don't need to provide that much money, or still work, but let other people do the house cleaning. If a person has to do all of these and still study, generally there's no time left for fun/personal life, and they accept it as part of life.
Sadly most people with low income jobs in 3rd world countries that I know have a life like robots :(
