So, I am an international student in USA who is currently pursuing a degree in CIS. Being an int'l student makes things way way harder than it's supposed to be. I need some guidance as I was initially planning to be a data/business analyst, but looking at the job market things look over. It's already so hard to find a normal job and adding additional sponsorship makes things even worse. Being honest I currently have no skills of tech tools on my own and was planning to work on those skills, but looking at how easily job's are being automated gives me no motivation to start. As, I am just on surface I also wanted to see if there might be any better options to explore. I found jobs like AI infrastructure engineer, or healthcare analyst might booming in future, but it comes with uncertainty as well. If anyone is or has been in my position and would like to give some guidance anything is welcomed. Thank you

Hello everyone, I think this might be little bit long, but any amount of help would be appreciated. So, I am an international student in USA and recently found out I was diagnosed with TB. I was planning to transfer in another community college and TB was a requirement so I had to do an skin test which came back out as positive. Just to make sure it's not a mistake I did a blood test and it came back out as positive as well. I am positive that I got exposed to TB in past year. I had to do the same test 1 year, and 6 months ago to transfer to college I am currently studying and it was negative at that time. Another thing to notice is I don't have like any proper symptoms. I experience a little bit of cough, and that's it. Now, I live in Ellis county in Texas and it doesn't have a health department. There is one office in Arlington which I had called and told them everything about what I was experiencing. They told me since I am an international student and not a US citizen, and also not experiencing any symptoms I am not in the priority list they won't see me. I called my insurance (United healthcare) after that asking if I had TB coverage or not, and the guy on the other end goes I don't know what TB is so I can't say and hung up. I was so frustrated with that I cancelled my insurance. Now, I am stuck on what I need to do. My next step is to get an X-ray. I am currently applying to be a patient in a place called Hope health, but I don't know if they can provide me with a referral for an X-ray or not. I can't go to er because it would be tooo expensive for me. All these things would not have been problem if my application was not due on June 1. I need to get an X-ray done by that point. If it's positive then they won't admit me which is understandable, and I can get the treatment started. But for all that I need an X-ray done which is get so much complicated. I hate this country. Why is health care so much company. Please anyone help me if you can in any way or form.

Tldr: Got positive for TB in USA and an international student and everything is falling apart.
