I'm stressing out, I don't know what to do next. I don't know if I want to continue studying or not. It's so difficult to decide.

Choice 1 : APPLY FOR UNIVERSITY.

Choice 2 : GAIN MORE EXPERIENCE.

APPLY FOR UNIVERSITY.

After a long decision, I realized that going to university is the best option to acquire knowledge and increase my chances of getting a good job that will bring me a lot of money, but I am undecided between two universities.

Choice 1 : HEC.

Choice 2 : UQAM.

HEC.

I finally chose! I went to visit the establishment, and I was impacted by its beauty. I did a lot of research, and I discovered that this was a well-known university in the field of business administration, which convinced me even more to choose this university. My academic achievements will make it easier to find the job of my dreams.

Choice 1 : MOVING TO AN APARTMENT.

Choice 2 : FIND A JOB.

MOVING TO AN APARTMENT.

I finished my studies! I finally got my diploma, and I want to find a job to live my independent adult life, but before that, I need to know where I want to live, so I can find a job nearby.

Choice 1 : MONTREAL.

Choice 2 : BARCELONA.

MONTREAL.

I love my family so much, and I don’t want to be apart from my parents and my friends, so I decided that living in Montreal will be the best option.

I made a lot of money thanks to my job, which allowed me to open my own store in the shopping mall Diagonal Mar. Every December and June, I come back for 2 weeks to Montreal to visit my family and friends.

Choice 1 : WHAT DO I DO NEXT.

FIND A JOB.

I wanted to go directly into the workforce to be able to get a stable job as quickly as possible, which will allow me to have a house. I applied to several places, and two choices were offered to me, but I don’t know which one to choose.

END.

I gained a lot of experience in the business field, after 3 years of being a manager, but unfortunately, I found that this job wasn’t leading me anywhere, I felt like I was in a dead-end job, and I realized that there were so many drawbacks, so I quit and applied for other better positions to see if I could be accepted.

Choice 1 : WHAT DO I DO NEXT.

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS CONSULTANT.

I finally decided! I did a lot of research about this job since I didn’t know exactly what to expect. After my research, I found this job interesting, plus it paid well. I was working in the headquarters of Zara. At first, I was still a little bit skeptical, but when I did the OJT I realized I was really going to love this work.

Choice 1 : End.

UQAM.

I finally chose! This was a very difficult choice; both universities have good programs, but I was able to decide. I felt much more comfortable going to UQAM, as many of my friends were going to be there, which would reduce my stress of being alone during my breaks, and I was much closer to my home.

Choice 1 : INTERNSHIP IN FRANCE.

Choice 2 : WORK FOR MY BEST FRIEND’S DAD.

COME BACK TO MONTREAL.

I loved the adventure I experienced in France, but it’s not a country where I would like to live. I found that it was too different from what I’m used to, so I decided to return to Montreal. I stayed with my parents to save money for my future.

WORK FOR MY BEST FRIEND’S DAD.

I made some friends during my time at UQAM. One of my friend's father needed employees in his business, so my friend told me about it, and I immediately took the opportunity and applied for the job. A week later, I got the call that I had been hired. It was so cool to see the offices, I felt like I was in a movie because everyone was working in a cubicle. People were so kind to me that I got sucked up in really fast.

After several searches for activities that would help my resume and gain a premium wage, I found that volunteering in another country could help me have a better resume.

The only work that was available to me was a dead-end job like a cashier, waitress or hostess.

Choice 1 : END.

END.

Unfortunately, the path I wanted to take won’t be possible because I don’t have the requirements to work in higher-level jobs, so I will have to go to university. I felt like I was hiding my abilities by not making the right choice for my path.
