The Choices of Law.

Where to start?

It's the end of high school. All of your friends know in which program they want to apply for a cegep, but you are not yet sure. Your family has often told you that they will see you through the law. You could very well see yourself studying with codes of law, and it’s true that you really like defending the world, negotiating and arguing. However, you have always had a weakness for a document and presentation layout, so you are very much considering the option of going into graphic design as well.

Choice 1 : Do a Paralegal Technology at College Ahuntsic.

Choice 2 : Go to a Graphics program.

Finishing school

Harder than you thought.

You are satisfied with your choice to enter technical studies, but it is the second semester, and you realize that having an R rating of at least 30 to enter university seems more difficult than you thought. You struggle and your classmates are getting straight A’s. You wonder if it's worth continuing in the program or returning to Humanities to get better grades.

Choice 1 : Continue to try to get the best grades possible to increase your R Score.

Choice 2 : Abandon technique and go to a more general program to have a chance of entering law university.

Student

An alternative.

You passed through Paraegal Technology, but you did not manage to obtain a sufficient R Score to enter university. Though, UQAM offers the option of entering law if the student has two years of experience in the legal field. You could also enroll in a more general program and give your all to your classes, which would increase your R Rating considerably.

Choice 1 : Work for two years as a paralegal.

Choice 2 : Start college again in a more general and easier program.

Deception.

You entered Social Sciences, and you spend all of your classes with people who don't know what they want to do with their lives. You are very bored with your old program and the subject of the general courses is not captivating at all. You are very much regret your choice to have left Paralegal Technology.

Choice 1 : Stay in the program until the end.

Choice 2 : Return to finish your Paralegal Technology in the next session.

Realignment necessary.

The program is much more elaborate than you thought, and you don't think you can meet the demands of the teachers. You could roll up your sleeves and give all you have to the technical side of graphic design or decide to start your own layout services company.

Choice 1 : Make efforts to continue in technique.

Choice 2 : Start your own professional layout service company.

Money or pleasure?

You barely pass your graphic design technique, and you think about what you're going to do next. You have two great job offers, each with their advantages and disadvantages. The first has a very good salary, but you are not at all free when it has been coming to the creative side since you must continually follow the orders of your superior. The second pays less, but it is very close to your home, and you will always have carte blanche when it comes to conceptualizing the design projects that you do.

Choice 1 : First offer.

Choice 2 : Second offer.

Jof offers

Life has a price.

You need a lot more money to start your company. You believe a lot in your project, but you don't know where to find financing. The banks want absolutely nothing to do with you because they think you are much too young. You turn to your parents, and they tell you that if they lend you money, they want 40% of the profits you make. Or they give you the opportunity to use your rich grandmother's inheritance.

Choice 1 : Use your parents' money.

Choice 2 : Use your grandmother's inheritance.

parents

A new passion.

You discover what the job of paralegal is, and you love it. You definitely want to do this for the rest of your life and don't want to go to college anymore. You're trying to climb the ladder, and you're always looking for a better job offer.

Choice 1 : The End.

paralegal

An unexpected discovery.

You finally pulled off the R Score you needed to go to law school. But when you helped your classmates with their homework, you discovered a passion for teaching. Do you think it would be a very good idea to get a Bachelor of Arts degree in teaching?

Choice 1 : The End.

teaching

You made it!

You went through your program by putting aside the cons. It wasn't easy, but you are very happy to have taken this path because you can now afford to apply for the BAC in law. You can't wait to start your classes, and you already see yourself being a criminal lawyer. You feel like the future belongs to you.

Choice 1 : The End.

Not as it was...

You take Paralegal Technology again to continue your courses where you left off. However, your friends and acquaintances that you made during your first two sessions are in their third year, and you are starting your second. You have to start all the socializing from scratch.

Choice 1 : The End.

One day at a time.

You chose this option for the money. Yes, you have a good wage that pays the rent and some of your other expenses, but money can't buy happiness... You go to work, but you don't like your days. You hope that the instructions on infographics projects that we give you are not too terrible. One day at a time, you always repeat yourself.

Choice 1 : The End.

Grateful.

Happy with your choice, you love your work and the creative opportunities it brings you are invaluable. The freedom to listen and do what you want is all you could have asked for.

Choice 1 : The End.

grateful

Thank you mom and dad!

This turned out to be the better of the two options because your parents really helped you learn the ropes of the basics of business finances. Your company is growing and becoming more and more popular.

Choice 1 : The End.

Not the right choice.

What a terrible decision to refuse to help from your father and mother. You invested everything but, being alone in this great adventure, you were really overwhelmed by the tasks, and you mismanaged your grandmother's money. You lost everything.

Choice 1 : The End.

debts

Living your best life.

You are one of the best paralegals in your firm. You earn a very good living because the firm you work for is very influential and powerful. You have never been as happy and fulfilled professionally as where you are.

Choice 1 : Play again.

living his best life

Better luck next time.

Teaching really wasn’t for you. You hated all of your classes from the first session at the BAC. You wonder what you're going to do with your life now that you've gone through all that to get here. You decide to go to Costa Rica for 8 months to recharge your batteries on a trip alone.

Choice 1 : Play again.

Thank you life!

You have just passed your Bar and you are celebrating with your friends. You know that an excellent job as a lawyer in one of the biggest firms awaits you. You're finally starting the life you've been dreaming of, and you can't wait to see what happens next. All this effort has led you to some things, and you are very grateful for the opportunities you have had.

Choice 1 : Play again.

lawyer

No friends...

Everyone who is in this cohort already has their respective group of friends and, being not good at making friends, you end up spending your classes alone in your corner not talking to anyone. Your return is really not what you hoped for, and you are overwhelmed by regrets.

Choice 1 : Play again.

no friends

Miserable.

You've been in this dead-end job for 3 years. You are really not happy, and you are questioning all your life choices. You let the absence of joy inside you take over. You end up almost all of your evenings drank in a bar or simply at home, in front of a bottle of whiskey.

Choice 1 : Play again.

Winner for life!

You are filled with happiness. In fact, you consider yourself so lucky to live this life that you buy a lottery ticket, and you are the big winner of the 1 million for life prize!

Choice 1 : Play again.

money

Unlimited money.

You have become extremely rich because everyone does business with your company. You live in a very wealthy city and your company makes six figures. Several renowned brands are asking to partner with you. Some even want to buy shares at your company.

Choice 1 : Play again.

rich

The bottom of the barrel...

You must have gone bankrupt with your company. You are left to live on the streets and the subways because your parents are ashamed that you lost all of your grandmother's inheritance and are insulted that you did not want their help. You have no idea what your future will look like.

Choice 1 : Play again.
