Mashallah your post is very nicely arranged, I am also happy to know about your written childhood dreams.

In fact, I found that when I was young, most people wanted to be pilots, doctors and administrative positions, but I was different. I dropped that issue. But as for you, you were right at the threshold of your dream, and suddenly stopped, in fact, Allah Ta'ala has already planned for every human being. You decide who should do what, but through prayer and deeds you can change it my Lord,

I understand your desire, you had a lot of desire to serve the country and people, I understand it because you still have it, but let me say one thing, whatever you do, it is good if you are a computer engineer, but serve people and yourself. Try to bring it to God's law. Stay well and healthy always wish you to stay Allah is Hafez.
