High School.

It's my last year of high school and I already choose my future college, but I still hesitate about which program I will go to. I have a huge passion for art and I want to live with my art, but my dad is worried I will not get a good job if I study Visual Arts. I also really like traveling, so I am thinking about a future job that can lead me to travel a lot and learn languages, so maybe I can go to a language program.

Choice 1 : Visual Arts.

Choice 2 : Languages program.

Choice 3 : Sabbatical year.

Visual Arts.

Finally, my family and I went to the open house day of the college and met teachers who reassure my dad by telling him there are a lot of career option related to art that has good salaries. Sometimes the classes are a bit difficult, but I keep going because this is my dream, teachers believe in me and I make a lot of great friends. And eventually, I finish the program and I feel like I improve a lot.

Choice 1 : University.

Languages program.

I choose a program to learn languages because my dad said I can't be an artist and live with my art. Being an artist pay too little. I am a little bit disappointed, but he is not wrong he wants the best for me. So, I enter the language program to get a job to have a lot of opportunities to travel and I like to learn languages. On the first day, I feel like an impostor. Every other student are better than me, I am good at English, I'm kind of OK at Spanish, but I have so much difficulty learning to speak German, I think I am going to fail.

Choice 1 : Failing in school.

University.

I finished Cegep so, I send my application to my dream university to learn to create video games with animation, character design, background design, etc. I did everything in my power to have the most chance possible to be accepted. To my surprise, I am accepted! I'm so happy. Now, It's been a few days since I enter the program and I really feel I'm in the right place and I have a lot of fun. All the teachers are so interesting and, I am learning a lot of interesting things.

Choice 1 : Get a job as a Digital Artist.

Failing in school.

The first semester is over and I failed my German course and I have really on the limit passable grades in some other courses. I don't feel motivated in that program, and I am not even sure what career I can do. It makes me realize that I'm probably not in the right place. Maybe, I should change program or just get a job.

Choice 1 : High School.

Choice 2 : Dead-end Job.

Get a job as a Digital Artist.

After university, I enter a video game company as a Digital Artist more specifically a Character Designer. It's my dream job I succeed to accomplish my dream. It happens pretty often that I work overtime but, it even doesn't feel like a job because I have so much fun doing it. I definitely made the best choice by choosing to go in Visual Art in the first place. I feel a lot of fulfillment with that job.

Choice 1 : Retire Rich.

Sabbatical year.

I am not ready to go to Cegep yet, I think taking a sabbatical year will be a great experience for me and I can figure out what career I want to do later. I hesitate between volunteering abroad or trying to get a full-time job to earn money thinking in the meantime what I want to do later in life.

Choice 1 : Volunteering abroad.

Choice 2 : Saving money.

Volunteering abroad.

I choose to volunteer abroad! I have learned so much on that trip about a new culture It's an invaluable experience that I will remember all my life. Now I need to choose which program I will go to.

Choice 1 : High School.

Saving money.

I decided to wait before going to the Cegep and I got a full-time job to save money in the meantime I find what I want to do. This time will not be lost because It's always useful to save money. I have a lack of enjoyment for that job but the most important is saving money maybe for a future apartment or a trip.

Choice 1 : High School.

Retire Rich.

Now I am 65 years old, I am happily retiring with a pension and a lot of savings. I didn't have the drive of work, but I am still happy to retire. I don't have a lot of mortgages and I will be done with paying all the bills from my house soon. My retirement will be relaxing with a lot of hobbies, travel, etc.

Choice 1 : High School.

Retire Broke.

I am retiring with only a pension and no savings because I had a hard time paying the bills. I didn't like my job, my job was drudgery. There was no possibility of promotion. So now, I have no possibility of traveling, I can't do expensive hobbies, and have debt.

Choice 1 : High School.

Dead-end Job.

I was demotivated, so I stop studying and I decided to get a dead-end job I don't like my job, but my experience in Cegep demotivated me and I just don't want to go back. Sometimes there is drama on the job between employees. There is office politics because some employees undermine each other.

Choice 1 : Retire Broke.
