Hard choices

Choosing my path.

I am currently in business management at Montmorency College. I don't really like it, but I am almost done. I only have two semesters left in this program and I could go to university. Here is my dilemma, do I continue because I did most of the program, by knowing I don't really like it or do I choose another path?

Choice 1 : Stay in business management.

Choice 2 : Work in construction.

Choice 3 : Hotel management School.

Path

Stay in business management.

I finally graduated from Cegep in business management. Now, I can go to university. But, do I really want to go? I don't know if I want to do this in life, but it would help me a lot if one day I want to be an entrepreneur. Should I go to university or start a company?

Choice 1 : Go to HEC.

Choice 2 : Start a clothing Business.

Teacher

Work in construction.

I decided to quit school and took the easy way. My friend's father have a company in construction. He hired me as a manoeuvre. I have the drive of work. I am very happy, and I make a lot of money. Should I keep this job or start my own business?

Choice 1 : continue working for my friend's father

Choice 2 : Start my own company.

Construction workers

Hotel management School.

I quit Cegep and went the ITHQ in Montreal. This is a hotel management school. I like it so much. I don't regret at quitting Cegep. Business management was not made for me. Now I know perfectly what I want to do in life. 3 years later I graduated and applied for two jobs, one in Vancouver and the other one in a prestigious hotel in Montreal. They both gave me a job interview.

Choice 1 : Hotel in Vancouver.

Choice 2 : Hotel in Montreal

Hotel management school

Go to HEC.

I went to HEC. I really hated it. After my first year, my grades went down really bad. I was failing all of my classes and I decided to drop out. I am currently working at Walmart, very sad and just enough money to pay my apartment.

Choice 1 : Take a trading course.

Choice 2 : Find a side job.

HEC

Start a clothing Business.

My friend and I created a clothing brand called Papi. It was the best decision I made in my life. I am very happy and making a lot of money. We are currently opening a fourth store in Montreal.

Choice 1 : Choosing my path

Clothes

Continue working for my friend's father.

I have been working for my friend's father for a long time now. I am less happy than I was. I am always tired and starting to have back pain. I am thinking about quitting this job because it's to rough on the body. Do I quit or stay to retire with a good pension?

Choice 1 : Quit this job

Choice 2 : Stay in the company

Construction worker

Start my own company.

I started my own Construction company. After one year, I am not making enough money and I have difficulties paying my bills. But I am sure that one day the company will blow up and makes money. Do I continue the company or do I return working for my friend's father?

Choice 1 : Continue trying to improve my company.

Choice 2 : Returning to my old job.

Construction

Hotel in Vancouver.

Best choose I ever made! After my internship in Vancouver, I had a foot in the door with this type of job. I felt in love with the Canadian west cost. I applied at a hotel right beside lake Moraine. They looked at my background and hired me. They directly gave me a premium wage. This is where I met my wife. I am so happy in my life right now. My wife is pregnant and I bought a house near the lake Moraine. This is the life I have always wanted!

Choice 1 : Choosing my path.

Vancouver

Hotel in Montreal.

I decided to do an internship at the Crystal hotel in Montreal. I really liked it at first. But after several years working there and a lot of overtime, I had enough. Montreal is not the most beautiful place in the world. I regret not going to do an internship in Vancouver instead. But I stated there because I had a lot of benefits and a good salary.

Choice 1 : Choosing my path

Montreal

Quitting the construction.

I quit the construction because it was not made for me. It was too exhausting. I found a job in a car wash. But it's only while I am looking for another option in life. Should I start a car wash company or try to be a car seller?

Choice 1 : Cars wash company.

Choice 2 : Cars seller

Construction

Continue working in construction.

I have worked in the construction all my life. After my retirement, the pension was big enough to live a normal life with no problem with money. My body is ruined. I can barely do activities with my teenagers, but the company gave me compensation I regret that I didn't start my own company. I would have avoided the injuries.

Choice 1 : Choosing my path.

Retirement

Take a trading course.

While working at Walmart, I went to the IOTAF. A school that told me how to invest and do day trading. After a year of trading, I learned the ropes and made enough money to quit Walmart. One day, I saw that bitcoin was very trending and going up very quickly. Should I invest in bitcoin or not?

Choice 1 : Bitcoin

Choice 2 : Don't invest in bitcoin.

Trading

Find a side job.

While I was working in Walmart, I found a job as a grass cutter. Now, I have enough money to pay my bills. But I don't have any spare time I am always working. Should I start my own grass cutting company or continue both jobs?

Choice 1 : Grass cutting company.

Choice 2 : Continue both jobs.
