Michelle, if you don't have one already, have you tried using a small cubical quad antenna?
You can make them yourself, with online instructions for any kind and size you wish, if needed.
As for having to work lesser jobs, I'm a partial transmale, and highly claustrophobic, so limit my work to things I can do at least partially outdoors, with plenty of free movement and clothing requirement flexibility.
Right now, that has me teaching ESL in southern Thailand, although I was teaching at a university in the US.
The pay here is low-about $1K a month, but the cost of living is FAR lower; my 5th floor apartment with balcony, elevator, laundry, under-building parking for my motorbike, 24-hr watchman, all utilities, wi-fi, cable TV, and key card entry is $150 a month, and it costs $1.33 to fill up my motorbike gas tank.
Plus there is plenty of public transportation of all kinds that's even cheaper to use than the motorbike! The beach is six minutes away and I buy very inexpensive fresh food every few days at the open markets since I don't have a fridge (by request) in my apartment.
I end-run around gender dysphoria by designing/sewing barely feminine custom clothes and working at remote, beach side schools.
