What about the public service? I don’t know about where you live, but in my country the public service doesn’t care what degree you have, just that you have one. Look into the graduate programs of your local/state/federal governments.

There’s also one called “Personal blocklist” which is very handy.

Have you tried SwiftKey? I find it to be a waaaay better keyboard than the stock one, and it does support having a number row.
