<prompt> Human: So basically Im 19 now, studying to be a computer engineer. My family are all strict Muslims, basically nobody has ever left Islam in our family. Im going to come out to then after college, when they will force marry me to another girl. No way will they accept me anymore. How do I get ready to live on my own without financial support from my family, or will I be fine?  <response>: If you can line up a decent paying professional job by the time you graduate college, you should be able to support yourself without any help from your family. If I can assume you live in the US or another western country, I dont think youll have a hard time finding a decent job after college if you complete your computer engineering degree and also complete internships co-ops before you graduate. Try to save some money before you graduate from college so you can afford any relocation expenses if your first job out of college is in another city. Keep your finances separate from your family if possible, and dont add anyone as a co-owner of your bank accounts.
