Business

Montmorency College

Start at the beginning.

I am studying Social Sciences at Montmorency College to become an entrepreneur. I am currently in my last semester. I have to quickly choose the university where I want to go because admissions have already started. Many universities interest me, but I need to know the pros and cons of each to make the best choice possible.

Choice 1 : Go to the University of Montreal at HEC.

Choice 2 : Go to the University of Quebec in Laval.

HEC Montreal

Go to the University of Montreal at HEC.

I am very far from home because I live in Laval. I have to take the bus and the metro every day, so it is 3 hours of transport a day. It's a lot! I often arrive late for classes and even exams because the metro is sometimes out of order. Fortunately, my friend lives in Montreal, and he offered me to live with him, but I don't really have money to pay rent.

Choice 1 : Find a job with a good salary and go live with my friend.

Choice 2 : Stay in Laval and get up early to go to school.

Montmorency College - UQAM

Go to the University of Quebec in Laval.

I'm still studying at Montmorency College, but my classes are held in the evening. I start at 6:30 and I finish at 9:30. I lost my job because I could not do night shifts anymore. My friends often go out after school, but I can't go with them because of my school.

Choice 1 : Make other friends who have the same schedule as me.

Choice 2 : Find a student job with one of my friends to keep in touch with her.

Money

Find a job with a good salary and go live with my friend.

I found a part-time job. I work 20 hours a week, which is enough to pay for half of the rent with my friend. I work in the marketing department for Nike. Unfortunately, I start getting bad grades because I work a lot too much. I am close to failing classes.

Choice 1 : Continue working at Nike and try to ask the boss to have fewer hours.

Choice 2 : Trying to convince my roommate to pay less for rent.

Waking up

Stay in Laval and get up early to go to school.

I have trouble staying focused in class due to my lack of sleep. My marketing professor thinks I'm less motivated than before. He orders me to meet him at his office to discuss my situation.

Choice 1 : Go meet him at his office.

Choice 2 : Cancel my appointment with the marketing professor.

Friends

Make other friends who have the same schedule as me.

I have a new gang, and we see each other every day. We are starting to do team projects together, and we have been nominated to present our project in an entrepreneur contest. However, a television show approached us to participate in their show, but it's the same day as the contest.

Choice 1 : Go to the entrepreneur contest to be known by companies and recruiters.

Choice 2 : Go to the show to be known by a wide audience and the opportunity to become popular.

Work with a friend

Find a student job with one of my friends to keep in touch with her.

We've been working together for two weeks and the boss is watching us a lot because he thinks we're not productive. Suddenly, when we were photocopying a document, we were laughing and not paying attention. The printer was burning and the flames started to get bigger. Firefighters arrived and the entire building burned.

Choice 1 : Tell the truth to the police.

Choice 2 : Lying to the police to avoid prison.

With boss

Continue working at Nike and try to ask the boss to have fewer hours.

I make an appointment with my boss to reduce my hours of work. Before I start talking, he tells me that he wants me to become the manager of the branch because he loves how I work and I could work full time until I retire. I could climb the ladder after that and become a director of several branches, even though I did not finish my bachelor's degree.

Choice 1 : Accept his proposal and become the director.

Choice 2 : Refuse my boss' offer, and leave the job.

Mathematics

Trying to convince my roommate to pay less for rent.

My roommate is very hesitant about my request. He thinks for a long time and ends up finding a solution so that I pay the rent in another way. He has a lot of difficulty in mathematics, so he wants me to help him with his homework 2 hours a week.

Activities

Go meet him at his office.

I go to his office, and he shares with me his concerns about my progress in his class. He believes that if I continue like this, I will fail his course and even fail my bachelor's degree. He orders me to register for extracurricular school activities to motivate me in the program. Finally, I joined the volleyball team. I learned so quickly that I'm going to the 2020 Olympics. THE END.

Email

Cancel my appointment with the marketing professor.

I receive an email the next day. He is the director of HEC University, and he would like to meet me. I went to his office, and he told me that he expelled me from school because I'm not serious enough in my school career. So, I will work in a Walmart for the rest of the year and I will try to climb the ladder in this company. THE END.

Director

Go to the entrepreneur contest to be known by companies and recruiters.

Several senior executives came to watch our presentation. A recruiter from Apple loved our project and offered us an internship for the year. Apple will also pay the cost of our studies if we assure him to work for him afterward. We accepted unsurprisingly and after working for them for 3 years, we are now management directors for Apple. THE END.

TV show

Go to the show to be known by a wide audience and the opportunity to become popular.

After the TV show, we must really popular because the show has been seen by more than 50 million people. Our followers on Instagram and on Twitter are growing at incredible speed. Several companies are approaching us to publish advertisements for them in exchange for an amount of money. Our collaborations with them become our salary. We are very happy to have gone on the show. THE END.

Write a choice here.

police officer

Tell the truth to the police.

The truth always wins. The officer wrote a report with what we told him. He didn't arrest us but asked us to go to interrogation. After going to court, we only had to pay a compensation of $2000 for negligence at work. Without a doubt, we have been fired, but we are still friends, and we do several activities together. I finished my baccalaureate without losing my friends. THE END.

Write a choice here.

Prison

Lying to the police to avoid prison.

We had to pass an interrogation and a polygraph to find out the perpetrator. My friend did not want to do it because she knew she was going to lie. Eventually, the police realized that we were the culprits of this fire. We were in prison for 1 year. Subsequently, we started studying at a school for former prisoners. THE END.

Trip

Accept his proposal and become the director.

I am now a director for 5 years. I have a good premium wage that allows me to make several trips with my family. I have a foot in the door that will give me the chance to have a better job in a few years. I reach my purposes and I am very satisfied. THE END.

Write a choice here.

Parents' house

Refuse my boss' offer, and leave the job.

I refuse his offer. My boss is extremely furious and sends me back immediately. I have no wage, so I have to go back to my parents' house because I'm no longer in a position to pay for my friend's rent. I find it difficult to travel to Montreal every day, so I signed up for UQAM for the next semester. THE END.

Write a choice here.

The End.
