Look for a job with a better wage.

Choice 2 : Tell to the HR.

Accept the premium wage.

I accept the offer of premium wage with pleasure. It was cool, I had more control and responsibilities, but I was getting sucked up in drama between superiors. More often than not, they were undermined each other. I've decided to ignore them and to continue my good work.

Choice 1 : Start again.

Move to Montreal.

I moved to Montreal to study at UQAM. I have new friends, a new job that I love, my little apartment with my boyfriend, and I will be a criminologist, as I wanted... Could not ask better.

Choice 1 : Start again.

Move to Quebec.

I moved to Quebec to study at University Laval. It was difficult for me to find a new job and to make new friends. I missed my family and my friends who are in Sherbrooke. The people in my courses barely talk to me. Fortunately, I did an internship that I loved and will help me to come in handy later. I am happy to do what I wanted to do.

Choice 1 : Start again.
