My Career As An Engineer

Enter university.

I am now a graduate of Pure and Applied Sciences program at Lionel-Groulx College and now it's time to go to the university. So, is the time to choose my university program. I dream of becoming an engineer. But the question I have to ask myself is in which fields do I want to go even if I'm not a straight A's student?

Choice 1 : Chemical Engineering program.

Choice 2 : Go study aerospace engineering

Montreal Polytechnic

Scene 1.

The field of chemical engineering is a very interesting and extraordinary environment. Moreover, during the studies, we learn the ropes of the trade and sometimes it can be overwhelming given the amount of stuff that must be learned to exercise the profession of chemical engineer. After our studies we can go in various fields but towards which?

Choice 1 : I am moving towards the production of cosmetic product

Choice 2 : I'm heading towards oil production

Scene 2.

After finishing the university, I finally got my degree in chemical engineering, and I am now on-the-job-training. Also, I don't have much experience. But, I want to start my own cosmetics company and participate in the production of the products. However, the drawback is money. So, should I still go ahead and start my own company?

Choice 1 : Yes

Choice 2 : No

Graduation diploma

Scene 3.

Despite the financial difficulties, I managed to get loans and investors to help me start my company. I have a whole team at my company, chemists, chemical engineers, people who work in the marketing field and even interns who learn the ropes. However, should I be doing pharmaceutical cream production or producing ecologically responsible moisturizers?

Choice 1 : Pharmaceutical cream production

Choice 2 : Ecologically responsible moisturizer production

Business applications

Scene 4.

Ultimately working on production of the pharmaceutical cream remains a mistake, it was so overwhelming. I couldn't keep my company because I went bankrupt. Usually, we say a foot in the door but this time it was more like a foot out of the door. So, now I would have to move towards the production of drugs in the pharmaceutical field. On the other hand, I don't want to work in this environment.

Choice 1 : Game over
