Apply to college.

Sadly, there weren't many options for colleges in Montreal. So you've only got two options. Which one are you choosing?

Choice 1 : Cegep du Vieux Montreal.

Choice 2 : Cegep de Saint-Laurent.

Take a break from school and work full time.

You decide to take a year off and work. You start saving money and thinking about your future. After a few months, you start to miss learning and wonder if you should go back. What will you do?

Choice 1 : Apply to architecture next semester.

Choice 2 : Keep working and forget about school.

Cegep du Vieux Montreal.

You get accepted! The program is intense, but you like the creative projects. However, you start to struggle with technical drawing. Do you:

Choice 1 : Ask for help from a teacher or a tutor.

Choice 2 : Ignore it and focus on the parts you enjoy.

Cegep de Saint-Laurent.

You start the program and feel like you don't quite fit in. The vibe isn't right, and you're not as motivated as you expected. One day, you see a poster about switching to another Cegep. Do you:

Choice 1 : Try to transfer to Vieux Montreal

Forget school.

You keep working and get promoted to team lead in a warehouse. The money is decent, but you start to feel like something is missing. One day, you visit an architecture exhibition with a friend and feel inspired again. Do you:

Choice 1 : Decide to go back to school after all.

Choice 2 : Brush it off and stay at your job.

Back to college.

Stay job.

You stay in your job and eventually move into a management role. The pay is better, but the work feels repetitive. Over time, the stressful environment and difficult coworkers start to wear you down. You feel stuck and unmotivated. Years later, you often wonder: what if I tried architecture? THE END.
