How I switched from Engineer to Investment Analyst. Everything started when I was a child. Back in 2003, the USA invaded Iraq. I was only 6 years old back then and I never thought this would make a huge impact on me. As my father collected several books and newspapers on that topic, I could barely read then. But when I was getting a bit older, I was always keeping an eye on that material, including a large, pretty nice world map. After coming back from my school, I always looked at that map and kept trying to understand which country was in which part. I also looked at the newspaper and the book on the Iraq war and history that my father collected. That was my early childhood. So, from my childhood, I loved history. I kept reading on that topic and then my father gave me a Religious Scripture, and most of the history there was about the Middle East. Then came the 2nd significant part of my life, where I learned that a great chaos had just begun in the Middle East, which is known to you as the "Arab Spring." As I was interested in the Middle East, knowing what was happening there and why it was happening was crucial to me. I started learning about that since 2011. There, I learned about Geopolitics. I had studied countless pages on that topic and I realized that Economics has something to do with Geopolitics and History. In most cases, History and Geopolitics are shaped by the Economic interests of the hegemon power. So, I started to learn Economics since 2017 to understand the world better and to find the gap between History, Politics, and Money. As I slowly learned about Monetary Economics, the study from my childhood was sparking in my eyes as I discovered how Money, Power, and Politics act with each other. As I studied Economics, I discovered the most fascinating part of it, and that was the "Capital Market." I just got fascinated when I started learning about the capital market and how it functions. The most important part I discovered here is that all of my study and understanding from my childhood is related here. And that brought me to the field of Finance, Investing in general. Whatever, I have a degree in Industrial Engineering, which also helps me enormously to understand the production processes and supply chain of a business. So, I found my spot as an Investment Analyst, where I can use all of my previous learning and knowledge, and there is no other subject where it can be used. So, that's me. It's the story of mine.
