Can I build a shed in your yard to live in? I'm sure we can find a way to use me as a tax write off/guard dog.

Fwiw, here are good places to start looking for opportunities abroad:

Honestly I have like no cash and no legal marketable skills so like I am probably going down with the amerikkkan ship.

That's what the unskilled list is for. This is just the short list, there are options if you lay your cards right. It takes a bit of planning but you do give up a lot. Stuff like this is worth knowing just in case. Also consider jobs in transit, on boats and air. Staying to fight it out is noble, though, but I do realise there's many who can't or won't, and if you can't totally make the jump, it is better to stay mobile.

No, you'd have to dig underneath the backyard and have it be like night 1 in Minecraft

Second I get through enough school for it to transfer someplace I am buying a yurt in Cambodia and doing telework.

No yard here

I'm sure we can clear enough of our old junk out of the garage so you can sleep there

I have a shed in my yard already, but I'm only renting, so I don't think I can let you stay there. You'd have to share it with the rats anyway, and they're mean neighbours.
