I recently moved (legally) from a third world country to USA, and was wondering how could I improve my life? I am currently attending a Community College for Cybersecurity (I actually wanted CS, but this is what they have available) and really wanted some advice on what I should do next. Keep studying and try to enter an University? Get a job after you graduate (would be willing to do anything above minimum wage, to be honest)? What would you do if you were in my place?

You have to go back
Become an Internet PI and start your own business after you graduate.
Look for a university that accepts transfer credits from your community college. Like look class to class and find out which credits transfer.
Do as many of the general education classes (math, English, sciences, etc) that transfer as you can.
You can probably get a job pretty easy if the language you spoke in your shitty foreign country is useful here, like Spanish... Just be sure to emphasize being fluent in both English and the shit speak language.
Continue working and going to the community college. Do very well in your classes, maintain a 4.0 (or 5.0 if it is some shit tier school that doesn't use 4.0). Might help you to get some scholarships or something.
After you have some savings and are stable, transfer to the real university and take all your general education credits with you.
Most US universities waste two years of your life and tens of thousands of dollars on "general education" which is just high school over again... So doing them at the community college for pennies on the dollar saves a lot of time and money.
Jump straight into your program and do the few remaining GE classes you have... Graduate with a BS in whatever IT major you chose.
Make life your bitch.

Thank you, really appreciate it.
Hardware technician makes more and there is more job opportunities. I'm going for my CS and I started at a CC, so that's what I'm doing.
