It's not even worth applying without a degree. If you're lucky they will interview you and waste your time and not hire you. Good luck as a construction worker. Your best shot is to learn to be a foreman and work your way up as a construction worker. Or learn to be a machine operator so you can break your back less. Nobody will ever hire you to do software. The interview process will just waste your time. They will use you to fill a checkbox and say "we interviewed several candidates and chose the best one", without a degree you are always the low tier last choice. Not many people can develop software and get paid to do it. It's easier to be successful as a manager. All the big names in software and industry are business managers, not software developers.
