One of my favourite books is "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" by J.K. Rowling. It is a story about the world of magical creatures who get loose in the non-wizard world. It's also a story that shows how Maj (wizards) and No-Maj (non-wizard) people form a friendship to protect magical creatures. On this mission, the lead No-Maj character discovers a world of magic and falls in love with all the challenges it offers, wishing he was a wizard too.
As a No-Maj myself, my transition from mechanical engineering to the data world was initially filled with challenges. Each time I entered a new data area, I was thinking: "If only I were a wizard".
