What can I do for new life in Houston texas?
I recently moved to Houston, Texas, and I am looking for a job. I applied to many places, such as IKEA, Walmart, Target, Macy's, and other stores, but I was not approved. My major is computer engineering and I studied in Iran. I am a hardworking, creative, and creative girl, and I have other skills, and I learn everything very quickly. I have experience in network plus, website design, digital marketing, robotics, and many computer fields, and even fine arts, Photoshop, and photography in Iran. But in America, with this work experience, I was not given a specialized job. I understand that a degree from America is necessary. I also worked at Amazon in the warehouse. Also, since I recently came to Texas, I need guidance for work and life. I also need academic counseling because I would like to study paramedical and dentistry in Texas. I would appreciate it if anyone has any ideas or can give me some guidance, please message me because I really need work and progress.
