A-engineer-path

The beginning.

I was just graduated in my last year of Cegep, and I was thinking about my future. I wanted a successful life in the future not only had a good job but also had an impact in the world. Unfortunately, I needed money as soon as possible at this moment. I was in an electrical engineering technology program at the Cegep and this program could lead me to an engineer career and a worthwhile life. I was also on the basketball team, and I would pursue and fit on a professional team. I did a good deal of research in all possibilities and finally time came to make a choice.

Choice 1 : Accept a job in a store.

Choice 2 : Apply for an internship.

Choice 3 : Begin the training in order to join a professional basketball team.

Accept a job in a store.

I accepted a job in a phone. I needed money urgently and the store manager needed an employee as soon as possible. The job began to feel monotonous after one mouth even if I was getting a premium wage. I was feeling alienated, and I had to decide if I made enough money to quit or stay.

Choice 1 : Leave the phone store job.

Choice 2 : Stay in the phone store job.

Apply for an internship.

I applied for an internship and became an intern in a factory of panels' making. The HR told me that there was a vacant position in the electrical plan'draftsmanship. The drive of work was though, but I learned the ropes, and got a foot in the door quickly through my colleagues. I was also getting a decent wage.

Choice 1 : Ask for more tasks.

Choice 2 : Stay with the same tasks.

Begin the training in order to join a professional basketball team.

I began my training to integrate a professional basketball team. My family tried to deter me to take this type of career, but I didn't listen to them. Time came for the selections, and I was dreading not to be chosen. While doing my last training, I fell and broke my left arm. It was the end of a career which didn't even begin.

Choice 1 : Critical error, start over.

Leave the phone store job.

I left the phone store job early, but the internship inscriptions and the basketball professional players selections were closed.

Choice 1 : Regret, start over.

Stay in the phone store job.

I stayed in the phone store job. Mouths passed and one day a colleague I'd never talked to accuse me to had sexually harassed her. I then got sucked up in a bias with my manager and almost got fired. It seems that she did that with no purpose but I I was sure that she wanted to leave the job with a compensation. She thoroughly planned it. I explained my point of view to my boss, but he never believed me. Now, I had a bad reputation in a dead-end job.

Choice 1 : Negative workplace, start over.

Ask for more tasks.

I asked for more tasks and started to make electrical circuits, programming and research in the use of artificial intelligence to help in the industrial domain. I met a lot of people high ranked, and they asked me to work for them.

Choice 1 : Work in the car's factory.

Choice 2 : Work in the robot's factory.

Choice 3 : Stay in the panel's factory.

Stay with the same tasks.

I stayed with the same tasks. This gave me a lot of drawbacks. I had a lack of knowledge in certain domains, and I became easy to be substituted. I got fired two mouths before the end of my OJT.

Work in the robot's factory.

I left my internship to work in a robot's factory. I was creating robots from beginning parts to end parts. I'd got a lot of experience in my past job, so it helped me a lot in this job. I worked for five years there, and it was time to take a big decision again.

Choice 1 : Pursue my engineer studies.

Choice 2 : Start a business.

Stay in the panel's factory.

I stayed in the panel's factory and end my internship. They recruit me immediately after. I knew the job and every person in the factory, so it was a pleasant place to work in. Two years later, the company got accused of corruption. They loose a lot of money and was obliged to close the factory I was working in. I then struggle to get a new job after. My CV became weak because I worked for an alleged corrupted company.

Choice 1 : Critical error, start over.

Accept the racing car's making big contract.

I got an offer to build a racing car for the largest racing company in the world, Ferrari. I accepted and began immediately. I worked in overtime and my time management became atrocious. I was dreading to make an error. I finally ended the build two mouths before the biggest race in the world. They took the car and tested it. Everything was normal. The car's performances was impressive. The race day arrived. The race began and my car was doing great. In the last turn, the car exploded. The racer died unfortunately and I got arrested even if the car had no problems in the tests. I took ten years of prison and the racing car's company I was working in, paid Ferrari a lot of money until they closed.

Choice 1 : Critical error, start over.

Refuse the racing car's making big contract.

I got an offer to build a car for Ferrari, but I refused. I kept making cars for well-known racing companies until I got promoted for a supervisor job. I stayed in the company until my retirement.

Choice 1 : Peaceful end, start over.

Pursue my engineer studies.

I decided to pursue my engineer studies. I needed three more years to finish. My experiences helped me a lot, and I was above most of my comrades at university. One day, I received an invitation to a party from one of my comrades at school.

Choice 1 : Accept the invitation.

Choice 2 : Refuse the invitation.

Start a business.

With all the experiences I got and money I put aside, I decided to create my own business. I wanted to create a company which manufactured industrial panels by using robots. I started it and did many tasks myself to save money. Two years later, my company became huge, and I recruit many people to work for me. The panel's factory I made my internship in were in the way to close for a corruption reason. I was thinking about bought it or not to expand mine.

Choice 2 : Don't buy the panel's factory.

Accept the invitation.

I accepted the invitation knowing that the following day I had my last exam of the year and the most important. The party was great but I drunk too much, and slept ten hours straight. I fail my year and was obliged to start over.

Buy the panel's factory.

I bought the panel's factory I worked in and expand my own company. Everything was going great for me, but I felt like something was missing. I was not an engineer even if I probably had the same experiences.

Choice 1 : Became an engineer.

Don't buy the panel's factory.

I choose to not expand my company. I worked for twenty years and retired after. In my retirement, I was feeling sad because I was missing something. I never found it out.

Choice 1 : Bad ending, start over.

Became an engineer.

I found out what I was missing. I was rich, I had a good impact in the world, but I was not an engineer. With all of my experiences and my position, I only did two years of studies. I became an engineer at twenty-eight years old, and I was the richest young adult in America.

Choice 1 : Goal achieved, start over.
