The end of high school.

I just finished high school studying Social Sciences in the Business and Management option of the program. The problem is that I am not able to choose a specific field of study between accounting, finance and starting my own company. Some teachers tell me to go one way and others another way because they all have a biased opinion.

Choice 1 : Become an accountant.

Choice 2 : Become a financial analyst.

Choice 3 : Start my own business.

Become an accountant.

I am now convinced that I want to become an accountant, and looking at my options I see two of them at the moment. Either I go to The University of Sherbrooke in accounting or I join a company in a low ranked job with the goal of earning my way up the work chain.

Choice 1 : Apply to The University of Sherbrooke.

Choice 2 : Join the labor market.

Become a financial analyst.

After looking at my options, I want to be a financial analyst. My mom offered to help me get into her firm right now, or she proposed I could go to The University of Laval as she did because she went there and believe it is the best program for Finance.

Choice 1 : Work in the same firm as my mom.

Choice 2 : Apply to The University of Laval.

Start my own business.

I decided that I wanted to have my own business and I just had the best idea to start my business. I'm going to create a car company with only electric vehicles at a low price to help the planet. The problem is I had this idea with my best friend should I bring him along, or start by myself.

Choice 1 : Start a business with my best friend.

Choice 2 : Start my business without my best friend.

Apply to The University of Sherbrooke.

I just finished university where I managed to get straight A's, and I just got offered an important role for a big accounting firm. I can't wait to show my abilities.

Choice 1 : Accounting firm.

Join the labor market.

I have spent the last five years stuck in the same low-income position, but I still feel confident about getting up the work chain.

Choice 1 : Change in the labor market.

Work in the same firm as my mom.

I have worked with my mom for the last four years, and I learned a lot from her helping me with my career in finance. I feel more confident than ever knowing there is help available for me.

Choice 1 : Mom's retirement.

Apply to The University of Laval.

I completed my bachelor's degree in finance where I pulled off very good grades, and I just signed my first contract working abroad for a French firm.

Choice 1 : Financial analyst in France.

Start a business with my best friend.

We decided to start our company together, and it is incredible working with your best friend. We are having a lot of success early on in our journey together. That electric car idea really paid off for both of us.

Choice 1 : Future of the electric car business.

Start my business without my best friend.

I decided to keep the idea for myself and started my company. I love the fact that all of my profits go directly into my pockets. The company really exploded in sales, and market value in the last two years.

Choice 1 : Success brings challenges.

Accounting firm.

I have been working in the firm for the last 5 years, and I am convinced that getting my accounting degree came in handy. My time management is great allowing to be efficient and successful. I have already earned 2 promotions since I started working there.

Choice 1 : At 60 years old.

Change in the labor market.

I never got up the work chain, and unfortunately I got fired because AI can do the same job as I was doing. I have been trying to get a job in another firm, but they keep telling I don't have the necessary education to have a job that AI is not covering. I am left with no other choice than working in a Mcdonald's for a living.

Choice 1 : At 60 years old.

Mom's retirement.

My mom retired, and I am now on my own in the firm. I feel way less confident than before, but I feel like I am still doing a great job at the firm. I would like to get a promotion and eventually get my mom's position.

Choice 1 : Realization.

Financial analyst in France.

I am 10 years in my financial analyst career, and I can tell you that going abroad has a lot of advantages. I learned everything from a different point of view, so my opinion helps us grow our knowledge and I have already worked my way up being recognized as the best financial analyst in the firm.

Choice 1 : Retirement.

Future of the electric car business.

My friend and I ended up hitting a wall in our sales because we don't have the same opinions. I would like to expand our budget to upgrade our sales, but he wants to keep the most money possible in his pockets. We ended agreeing on keeping as much money as we could and not investing in our car company.

Choice 1 : End of the partnership.

Success brings challenges.

Following the huge growth of my company, I decided to invest nearly everything I earned in order to keep my company growing, and it paid off big time. I am now the owner of the biggest electric car company, but I am facing a big issue. My friend is now suing me for allegedly stealing his business idea, and he wants 50% of the company as a settlement. What should I do, Agree to give 50%, or go to court?

Choice 1 : Give him 50%.

Choice 2 : Take him to court.

At 60 years old.

I am now retired because I was able to put aside enough money throughout my career to be at ease financially speaking, and I am enjoying life visiting places around the world.

Choice 1 : The end

At 60 years old.

I am now the manager of my local Mcdonald's, but I won't be able to retire for another 10 to 15 years because I didn't want to complete a degree in accounting.

Choice 1 : The end

Realization.

It did not take too much time before I realized that I was stuck in a dead-end job at that firm because I was stuck in my mom's shadow. I ended up staying there for all my career because I knew that I would not find another place.

Choice 1 : The end

Retirement.

My successful career came to an end at 55 years old because I wanted to spend more time with my family, and thanks to my decision to go abroad I have the ability to retire at that age.

Choice 1 : The end

End of the partnership.

We eventually decided to sell our company for 10 million dollars giving us 5 million each for our retired lifestyle which is going to be more than enough. The thing that makes me the proudest is the fact that I was able to live with my best friend.

Choice 1 : The end

Give him 50%.

I decided to give him 50% with the condition that I keep making all the decisions which he accepted, but it unfortunately slowed down my drive to work. I ended up getting 50 million for selling my share of the company, but at least I am still able to talk and go golfing with my best friend.

Choice 1 : The end

Take him to court.

I took him to court, and won because he didn't have any proof that it was his idea. I kept working for my company until I was 70 years old, and I was able to sell it for 200 million dollars creating generational wealth for my family. I had a fulfilling life, but I still feel a bit sad about losing my best friend during the journey.

Choice 1 : The end
