Inside the business game.

Start your journey.

It was my final year of high school, and I had to make an important choice. I was really interested in business and investments. I wanted to work with money and manage assets, and make important decisions. One day, I had an opportunity to apply for a job in a small company. At the same time, I got accepted into a Busniess Administration program, here in Thetford Mines. I couldn't do both at the same time, so I had to choose between gaining experience or continuing my studies and get myself a degree. What do I do?

Choice 1 : Apply to college.

Choice 2 : Apply for the job.

Hard choice

Apply to college.

I decided to go to business school because I wanted a better outcome. Having a degree is the safe choice because you learn new things such as accounting, marketing, finance and human resources. However, after a few months, the pressure became too much. I had exams, grouped projects and stressful events. Then, my classmate offered me an opportunity.

Choice 1 : Business ideas.

Choice 2 : School only.

???

Apply for the job.

I went and applied for the job because I wanted financial freedom immediately. At first, everything went well, but soon enough I discovered that it wasn't for me. My boss promoted me to a role I didn't want to do, so it demotivated me fast. One day, I realized that my manager was withholding information about missing product. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Ignore the situation.

Choice 2 : Investigate.

Job office

Ignore the situation.

I ignored the situation and brutally got involved in a fight. As an intern, I can assure you that this is not something you want do see in your first couple days in the job. I got sucked up in the investigation even though I wasn't corrupt. What am I supposed to do now?

Choice 1 : Telling the truth.

Choice 2 : Quiet.

Angry

Investigate.

I decided to investigate carefully. After my shift, I checked the reports on my boss's desk, and the more I looked, the more it got weird. I discovered that my manager was doing some discount to his favourite employees, and of course, I wasn't one of them. The corruption was right there, but what am I supposed to do with this?

Choice 1 : Report the corruption

Choice 2 : Join him

Proud of me

Business ideas.

My partner and I decided to start a small business together. At first, it was nice, nothing fancy. We made a little bit of money but after a couple weeks, problems started to appear. We got into a fight and never spoke again. I started wondering if he was stealing from me. What would you do?

Choice 1 : Confront him.

Choice 2 : Stay silent

Don't know what do to

Focus on school.

I decided to focus on school. My grades improved really quick, and I had fun there. One of my teachers offered me an internship at a marketing company that she used to work. I was an interesting proposition, but I didn't know what to do.

Choice 1 : Preparing

Choice 2 : Go with the flow

Locked in

Partner fight.

I confronted him at school, and at first, he lied to me saying he didn't do anything. Then, he admitted that he used our money for his personal expenses. He told me he'll repay later. I was frustrated and wanted to end our friendship there.

Choice 1 : Start your journey.

Choice 2 : One last shot.

Lost

Telling the truth.

I decided to tell everyone about everything I knew, and the investigation proved that my manager was responsible for the thefts. Since I did the right things, I kept my job and earned their respect. After all, maybe going straight into the real world wasn't so bad.

Choice 1 : The end

Proud

Quiet.

I stayed silent because I didn't want to be involved into a conflict. The thing is, it got worse. Clients and employees were getting suspicious, and our reputation got affected. I got fired not long after. I think I should've stayed in school.

Choice 1 : Starting again

Low down for a bit

One last shot.

I finally decided to give him another chance because after all, he is my best friend and I thought it was could finally trust him. For a while, he got better, and he actually paid me back. Then, he disappeared without saying a word. That day, I learned that ignoring the red flags was my biggest mistake and that I should've stayed in school.

Choice 1 : Start again

Tired

The end with him.

I ended up breaking our partnership because he was affecting my grades. I learned that trust, and honesty is essential in a business, even more with your best friend. A couple years later, I was successful and trusted myself.

Choice 1 : Start your journey.

Happy

Go with the flow.

I went to the interview without being prepared at all. I thought I would be easy, but when I got there, the interviewer asked my some technical business questions ans I didn't know that to answer. A week later, I received an email saying another candidate had been selected. Maybe if I was prepared I would've got the job. I think I have no choice but to go back to school now.

Choice 1 : School only.

Calm

Preparing.

I spent hours preparing for it. I did some researched on the company and practice fake interviews. Two days later, I received a call that said I got accepted.

Choice 1 : Apply for the job.

Choice 2 : School only.

Nerdy

Report the corruption.

I went and reported the corruption without anyone knowing it was me. Later, the owner came and picked my manager apart, he wasn't in a good mood. The stress of not knowing if I did the right thing was absurd. I couldn't enjoy my presence there, and it affected my performance. I think I'll go back to school for now.

Choice 1 : Focus on school.

Stressed

Join him.

At first, asking him to join the evil side was something I thought I'd never do. But then, the money started to hit my bank account, and I fell for it. It was to obvious that something was wrong, and we got reported by another employee. My career in business was destroyed before it even had the time to start for real.

Choice 1 : Focus on school.
