I (25 female) just graduated from top 5 architecture school in the United States. I looked for a job for 6 months but couldn’t find any (visa also expired) so I had to fly back to my toxic parents home which is not in the US. I am not American resident or citizen so getting back to the US is gonna be difficult even though I feel like I belong there. I am running out of ideas what my next steps are because I can’t find a job nor do I have enough money to go for Graduate school in the States. My main goal is to go back to the US since I feel most comfortable and familiar with their culture. The current country where my parents are residing is in East Africa where there aren’t any opportunities for young adults like me. I can’t even go back to my home country (East Asia) since I only grew up there for like 5 years when I was a baby so I don’t have any connections to it nor place to stay. Most of my classmates are in similar situations of having unclear roadmap with their lives but this uncertainty is eating me up slowly. What can I do to get out of living under my toxic parents house and be independent as soon as possible? I am thinking about jumping into some community college to study health care since its easy to get a job for that field but I am just running out of ideas. I might sound ungrateful but I just meed some guidance since non of my family members wants to help me navigate this situation. Thank you
