New to the journey. Hi

[blue mustafa]

My name is Mustafa, 22, and I live in Abu Dhabi, UAE. I recently graduated from college (mechanical engineering) and I also enjoy coding. I am in the middle of reading unscripted and so far I am really enjoying it and to be honest it is also a bit frightening to me. let me explain. I choose mechanical engineering as a major and I was not even sure if I really want to pursue it as a career, but since my parents were pushing me to choose something quick and most of my friends chose it as well, I just went along with it (we even went to the same local college). During my first year, the fear of the unknown future was lingering in the back of my head but I went along with it saying to myself " Hey. When you graduate everything will align for you and you will be an engineer so relax" and this became easy as the years went by. In my fifth and final year, this fear started coming back. I tried telling myself the same thing but the reality was " I was a few months away from graduation and I am the same person ". Sure I am more knowledgeable in certain engineering areas but I didn't feel like an engineer. I thought this major will drastically change me personally into this engineer that is ready to take on the world and finding a job will be a piece of cake but seeing my friends, who gradually before me, struggle to find a job made my fear and anxiety grow more. After graduating I decided to learn to code because personally I found the career prospect of it better than engineering and it will allow me "someday" to do something of my own. As I was watching a tech Youtuber called Joshua fluke he recommended unscripted , so I thought why not and bought it. Reading how @MJ DeMarco systematically break down the faults in our society and how to exit it through entrepreneurship made the book so interesting to read. So this is my story; hope it wasn't too long. I want to hop on board this unscripted train but the fear of the unknown is crippling which brings me back to why this book scares me because it is telling the truth and my scripted mind can't disprove it. Sorry if this turned a bit confusing. I will be working on myself to overcome this fear and start this journey. All these awesome stories on this forum are really helpful (I have been lurking for a while but decided now to make an account) and like MJ said about the fastlane journey in one of his podcasts "make it your life" which I will. Thank you for reading and have an awesome life.
