Path to mechanical engineering

End of high school.

I finally graduated from high school. I need to go to a college to study mechanical engineering, but I also want to make money maybe I should take a break for a year and continue my studies later on.

Choice 1 : Go to the cegep of old montreal.

Choice 2 : Start working.

z

Go to the cegep of old montreal.

In the hallways, I saw a poster about the formula SAE. It's about designing, building and even racing a race car to compete against other schools. It could be worthwhile especially for university applications. Should I sign up or focus on studying?

Choice 1 : Sign up to club up to club.

Choice 2 : Don't sign up to the club.

z

Sign up to club.

The number of hours spent in the school is maddening. I'm getting to overwhelmed by the hours put in this project, but I don't want to quit. It's progressing very well, and I would dread that when I leave and project will become easier.

Choice 1 : Stay in club.

Choice 2 : Leave club.

z

Don't sign up to the club.

I decided to not join, and maybe it was a good idea I am getting straight A's, and I have this sense of fulfillment studying here. However, I have a lot of free time. Should I continue studying or put it aside and have fun?

Choice 1 : Continue studying.

Choice 2 : Have fun.

z

Stay in club.

The project is still unbelievably demanding, but I made up my mind I will stay because it will help me gain invaluable experience and my grades might not be straight A's, but I believe it's a good trade. I'm confident this experience will help me land a future internship at an automotive company. But now we need to decide who drive the car. Should I volunteer?

Choice 1 : Volunteer.

Choice 2 : Don't volunteer.

z

Volunteer.

When I volunteered they didn't undermine me as a potential driver because I had put many hours building the car. In the end, they decided that I would drive the car. During the test drive I got to cocky, and I thought handle the car because I knew the ins and outs of it because I built it. Turn out building the car doesn't mean you're the right driver, and I crashed the car. The damages were so bad we couldn't participate in the competition because we wouldn't have enough money to fix the car. I received so much hate from my peers I decided to drop out.

Choice 1 : End of high school.

c

Don't volunteer.

Even thought I am bothered that I couldn't race the car it doesn't matter because at least we made it in time to compete and race different schools! It's time to put the car to the test. At first, I was dreading this moment because I didn't know if the car could be able to even complete the race. Surprisingly the car qualified very well, and we managed to start in second place, and we won the race. Now that the championship is over I can study more for finals, and even get to have fun. Either way the club has given me invaluable experience in the field that I'm certain that what ever I chose it will help me with my admissions for university.

Choice 1 : Have fun.

Choice 2 : Continue studying.

z

Continue studying.

I aced all of my exams, and I can finally go to university. I applied to waterloo university and I got accepted even thought I did, I saw a vacant position at an engineering firm that desperately needs a technician. They offered OJT and a premium wage if the liked my performance while my training. I need to make sure that is the right choice for me.

Choice 1 : Go to Waterloo.

Choice 2 : Join firm.

z

Have fun.

At first, it was small, I went to many parties, and I put aside a lot of my project and accumulated a lot of missing assignments, but I didn't care was enjoying partying too much. Eventually, I realized that I had so many missing points that couldn't catch up to any of my classes, and I was going to fail all of them. I was so deterred of what happened I dropped out, and I decided to go work at a Mcdonalds as a dead end job never amounting to anything. I decided to take out a bank loan for $50K to go to the casino and play roulette. Should I put it all on black or on red?

Choice 1 : Bet on red.

Choice 2 : Bet on black.

x

Bet on red.

It was black... I lost all the money, and now owe $50K to the bank. I will never be able to pay back my loan. I am now forever stuck at Mcdonalds.

Choice 1 : End of high school.

y

Bet on black.

It landed on black, and I made so much money that I decided to continue. I won 15 times in a row and, I made a hundred million dollars. I paid of my dept to the bank and decided to retire my parents and go live my life in luxury in Monaco.

Choice 1 : End of high school.

s

Go to Waterloo.

My time at Waterloo was very hard. The exams and project I had to do was very overwhelming, but I couldn't give up because I was so close. Staying and working hard was the right choice because I graduated, and I am currently looking to complete my dream and work as a race engineer in formula 1. I applied to many teams, and I had interviews with both Ferrari and Audi. Ferrari is a historic team that has won the most championships in F1, but is currently struggling to win championships. And with Audi a brand-new team. All thought they are new to F1 Audi is not new to Motorsports they are known because they have won multiple championships in ever series they have participated in. Which one should I join?

Choice 1 : Join Ferrari.

Choice 2 : Join Audi.

x

Join Ferrari.

After the honeymoon phase ended and all the charisma ended. I quickly realized why they are a struggling team. Theree is so much office politics that isn't a small thing that HR can handle because this whole team has been sucked up in the drama even they are in it. I feel like this whole team can't realize that this drama has prevented them from winning championships. Should I try to fix it or should I stay silent?

Choice 1 : Fight the corruption.

Choice 2 : Stay silent.

x

Continue studying.

I aced all of my exams and applied to many universities. Sadly only Concordia accepted me because the rest of them didn't think I was good enough because I didn't participate in any extra curriculum and almost all my competition did. So, I became a project manager for an engineering firm.

Choice 1 : End of high school.

z

Stay silent.

I decided that staying silent was probably the best idea. I realized there was a lot of corruption, and it wasn't worthwhile to risk my career fighting it when it's everywhere. In the end, we didn't end up winning any other championships but at least I get to say I worked for Ferrari.

Choice 1 : End of high school.

z

Fight the corruption.

I tried to fight it and nobody took me seriously. They all claimed that that's the way the team worked, and I would even find these biases all over corporate. When I heard that I decided to leave them and joined Williams F1 team It was the best decision I made because they all worked as a team and there's drama to get sucked in to.

Choice 1 : End of high school.

x

Join Audi.

At first, working there was very hard. We didn't win any races, but I'm certain that it will happen one day, and we'll even win a championship. Everyone's work ethic is perfect for a winning team, so we will win one day.

Choice 1 : End of high school.

a

Join firm.

Joining the firm wasn't a good idea. I didn't enjoy all that much, but I liked the money and the absence of stress from exams, so I stayed and worked there for a while until I decided to change jobs. Ever since then, I'm changing jobs hopping I find something I like.

Choice 1 : End of high school.

x

Start working.

I found a job working at Subway. A year later I got accepted to study mechanical engineering at the cegep of old Montreal. Sadly, all of my work ethic disappeared, and I didn't last the first session, so now I'm back at Subway working a dead-end job.

Choice 1 : End of high school.

z

Leave club.

I now have s much time to do what ever I want. Should I continue working hard or catch up on everything that I have missed while I working on the project?

Choice 1 : Have fun.

Choice 2 : Continue studying.
