Life after High School.

After graduation.

I just finished my Grade 11 at André Laurendeau High School. But now, I'm really confused about what I should do next for my academic future. I wanted to become a police officer and study Police Technology at Ahuntsic College. In the other hand, I could join the army and enrolled for my country. I don't know what I should choose. Should I go in Police Technology, join the army, or maybe go to Social Science and wait a little.

Choice 1 : Police Technology at Ahuntsic College.

Choice 2 : Army.

Choice 3 : Social Sciences at Edouard Monpetit College.

Police Technology at Ahuntsic College.

I've got accepted in Police Technology! I can officially start my journey as a future police officer. When I am done after three years of study, and ENPQ, I'll need to choose between SQ or SPAL. The SQ is a good thing, if I want to move around Quebec and see other cities. But, there's also Longueuil Police that is nearby to where I live, and I could stay around my friend and family.

Choice 1 : SQ application.

Choice 2 : SPAL application.

SQ application.

Wrong choice... It's really far from where my family is, and I don't feel safe. I don't like this environment, and I want to come closer to where I'm from. Also, the job is really boring up there.

Choice 1 : Try Again.

SPAL application.

I've been able to get the job for the SPAL. I'm really excited to start a career as a police officer for the city that I'm from. I want to start as a patrol officer, but eventually I want to work as a SWAT member. A couple years later, I've received an offer to be a SWAT officer. Should I take it, or should I stay a patrol officer?

Choice 1 : SWAT member.

Choice 2 : Decline and stay

SWAT member.

It is what you've always wanted to do as a police officer! The job is stressful, but is full of adrenaline, and this is what you are looking for. I'll do this job for a couple years and then retire happy because I did what I loved.

Choice 1 : End :) Try again.

Patrol officer for life.

Now that I've been a patrol officer for a couple of years, I know every tips-and-tricks of the job. I know my worth and I want to have an on-the-job-training to pursue my professional career. That would give me extra money on my patrol officer salary. Should I ask for it or stay at my job?

Choice 1 : Ask for an on-the-job-training

Choice 2 : Stay a police officer

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:HH_Polizeihauptmeister_MZ.jpg

Police officer.

I'm happy with my job, but I know deep inside that I could've done better. I didn't reach my full potential as an employee. Still, I really love my job and I'll retire happy.

Choice 1 : Done :) Try again

On-the-job-training.

After my on-the-job-training, I got promoted! I'm now a supervisor, and I can control my own team of police officer. I knew I was able to accomplish my goals. Now, I have a better job, a better salary, and I'll retire with better benefits.

Choice 1 : Good job :) Try again

Army.

I joined the Canadian Army. I just finished my 10 weeks of preparation. I have done a lot of physical tests, and I've learned a lot about the tactics behind the job. That's definitely what I want to do in my life. It'll keep my in good shape, and I'll earn a lot of benefits from it. Now, it's time to choose which side that I want to work for. The navy force or the land force?

Choice 1 : Navy Force.

Choice 2 : Land Force.

Navy Force.

Unfortunately, it's too late for me... On my first mission on the ocean, I slipped, and drowned. I guess it was not meant to be for me. I should've done something else.

Choice 1 : Too bad :( Try again

Land Force.

I joined the Land Force. I really like both sides of the job, the physical side and mental side. But after a couple months, I start being overwhelmed by all the screaming and sleepless nights. I want to quit, but I don't know where I should go. I think about going back to school. Should I go do my Police Technology or Social Sciences?

Choice 1 : Police Technology at Ahuntsic College.

Choice 2 : Social Sciences.

Social Sciences at Edouard Monpetit College.

I decided to take it easy for now and went in Social Sciences at Edouard-Monpetit College, my hometown CEGEP. The classes are very easy for me and I could have a really good R score. But I met new people in Economy class, and they are partying a lot. Should I party with them to get accepted or work hard enough to do what I want in University?

Choice 1 : Party Life.

Choice 2 : Work hard in class.

Party Life.

It is so much fun! Every weekend, I get to experience every type of parties and drink a lot of alcohol. Plus, I'm still young, so I can keep doing it for a long time. On the other hand, my grades are going downhill because I don't study at all. Should I give myself a heads up and start studying now before it's too late, or I wait and continue to have fun?

Choice 1 : Study now before it's too late

Choice 2 : Let it go and have fun.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Night_trance_music_party,_Koh_Chang,_Thailand.jpg

Work hard in class.

Yeah! I've worked hard enough for finally having good grades and a good R score. I made the right choice. Now, I know that my grades are good enough to get accepted in psychology in university. I don't know which one though. Should I go to McGill, Concordia, or UDeS.

Choice 1 : McGill University.

Choice 2 : Concordia University

Choice 3 : UDeS.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Learning_to_Code.jpg

Let it go and have fun.

I went too far... I partied a lot, and I neglected school. I took bad decisions, and I need to live with them. I think I should drop out of school after all, it's not for me. I'll go work at my local McDonald's and try to save money for an apartement.

Choice 1 : Try Again :(

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:McDonald%27s_Golden_Arches.svg

McGill University.

I've got accepted in psychology! Now, I need to choose what type of psychology I want to do. I really like sports and the idea behind it. But I also like helping people with their daily-basis problem, or even bigger problems. Should I go in Sports Psychology or Human Psycholoogy?

Choice 1 : Sports Psychology

Choice 2 : Human Psychology

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Arts_Building,_McGill_University,_Aug_31_2022.jpg

Sports Psychology.

It is really fun! I like it a lot because now, I understand athletes in a way that I always wanted to be understood. I can now help young and old athletes with their mental health on the field. This job is definitely for me.

Choice 1 : Try Again :)

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sport_balls.svg

Human Psychology.

It's fine. I understand people way better than before, and I can help them now. The only issue here is that I don't have any motivation to work because it is not related to anything that I really enjoy. I'm thinking about going in Sports Psychology, or stay and live like that. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Sports Psychology.

Choice 2 : Stay like that. Try again :/

Concordia University.

This school is definitely not for me. People are mean, the teachers are rude, the atmosphere around the University is toxic. This place is not for me, and I want to change school. Should I try McGill University or try UDeS?

Choice 1 : McGill University.

Choice 2 : UDeS.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Evo_Centre-Ville_-_Concordia_Stingers.jpg

UDeS.

The program is good. People are really nice here, and I can pursue my academic career in French. There is a part of me that is sure not about what I want to do next. The other part of me wants to try Human Psychology to help people because that's what I wanted when I grew up. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Stay unsure and Try again :)

Choice 2 : Try Human Psychology.
