hi.welcome to healthcaremagic forum.scar in lung after tuberculosis is normal phenomena.it is not a problem either because it is a sign of healed tb and causing no harm.it is the active tb, which causes problem.as far as your concern for job, you have to consult respective authority. health wise healed scar has no issue except some limitation if involving large area.good luck.
