Life’s-Choices-to-Become-a-Dermatologist.

The end of college.

I had just finished my third and final year in the Pure Sciences program in Thetford’s college. I had straight A’s, but a weak time management. Should I search for a full time job or continue my studies?

Choice 1 : Apply for a full time job.

Choice 2 : Apply to universities to study.

Apply for a full time job.

Since the Pure Sciences program gives pre university courses, only one job had a vacant position for me.

Choice 1 : I get hired as a biology teacher in a secondary school.

Apply to universities to study.

I got accepted into two prodigious universities. Medicine and dentistry were two programs that interested me. I don’t know which university to choose for those programs.

Choice 1 : McGill University.

Choice 2 : Laval University.

Become a dermatologist.

I helped a lot of sick people. My life had a purpose. I started a television show : Marianne's popping pimples story. It seemed worthwhile for my career. I retired rich and took advantage of my money to donate and please my family.

Choice 1 : You made it to the happy ending. You can try a different path.

I go back to work in a small business.

I had a pretty normal life with vacations twice a year. Unfortunately, I felt a lack of contentment and fulfillment. I should have made the risk.

It was the best decision I have ever made. I felt accomplishment in everything I did. I am very happy with how my life turned out.

Choice 1 : Start over.

I have never been happier. I am married to the baby's dad. I graduated from dentistry school and have a stable job to take care of my child.

Become a neurosurgeon.

With my expertise, I became the best neurosurgeon in Canada. I had a lot of trainees that all had successful careers too. I pulled it off. I was so proud of myself.

I got into the dentistry program.

For an internship, I test drove a company that interested me. It was atrocious. There was corruption everywhere. It was the worst experience of my life. Should I definitely quit or test drive another organization?

Choice 1 : I quit.

Choice 2 : I test drive another organization.

I quit.

Because I left this career path, I needed to start over my university studies. It would have been a lot of leg work, so I never did it, and became a theft. I went to jail multiple times. My background that was once impeccable, was now atrocious.

Choice 1 : Start over.

I test drive another organization.

This clinic did not resemble a bit to the other one. It was a calm and friendly workplace. The drive of work energized me each morning to get up and help people. Nobody was corrupt, and it was not an overwhelming environment. I stayed loyal to the same dentistry clinic my whole life, and I never regretted it.

Choice 1 : You made it to the happy ending. You can try a different path.
