> I used to send money directly via FNB's Forex system to IBKR but I've found Wise to be much quicker and it offers far more options.
eg. Since SARB clamped down on buying cryto from international exchanges with your bank card, I now have EURO & USD accounts so I can transfer fiat from ZA to Crypto.com or Binance in a matter of minutes! Most times the transfer from Wire to those services is done in under 15min. I've also setup my paypal account to point there which means I dont need to bring it into my FNB account.

I recommended setting up a Wise account!

Try creating static websites only requiring front end web development. Learn HTML, CSS, and JS. Learn Jekyll or Hugo for building static websites. Learn how to host a static site for free on GitLab or GitHub. Find terrible websites and offer to make the company a new one - maybe try do it for free for NGOs and NPOs to practice and build a resume. Give it a try, there are many free resources for learning and then you could decide if you like it, but it is going to take one, two, or maybe three months to get the basics down depending on how much time you have. Try https://www.theodinproject.com/paths/front-end-only for HTML, CSS, and JS - you might even want to branch into back end web development as well, but it might be harder to learn if you do not have experience.
