Career questions tagged ucr


What career paths would you recommend for someone who came to the U.S. after fleeing conflict and starting over with a language barrier, and who now wants to turn that struggle into a purpose — not just for survival, but to make a real difference?
I came to the United States from Afghanistan after the Taliban took over. Back home, I didn’t have access to education, especially as a girl, and when I arrived here, I struggled with the language barrier. Despite all of that, I’ve been working hard to succeed in school. I’m still figuring out what career path to choose, but I want to find something meaningful — a way to use my experiences to help others and make an impact. I would really appreciate honest advice from professionals who’ve overcome challenges or started from nothing.
