My life after CEGEP!

Finally! After two years of hard and though work, I pull off a diploma in Social Science - the World. It is now time for me to choose a university program. As a kid, I aspired to be a cartographer, but this Anthropology program seems fascinating. Which one should I choose?

Choice 1 : Bachelor in Geography

Choice 2 : Bachelor in Anthropology.

Bachelor in Geography.

It's confirmed! I am now studying geography at university. The only drawback in this excellent choice is that the campus is very far from my home. Now I could stay at my actual apartment and waste many invaluable study hours in public transports. I could also move closer to my university, but that would also mean that I have to quit my job and be away from my siblings and my girlfriend. Am I more ready to sacrifice study time or time with my family?

Choice 1 : Stay at my actual apartment

Choice 2 : Move closer to university.

Stay at my actual apartment.

I'm not yet ready to say goodbye to my relatives. Guilty! No matter what, I realize that this program requires a lot more of in-depth work that I thought. Studying hard is the only way to get straight A's and to secure this internship I so badly want. However, I can't help myself but consider taking a sabbatical year and travel around the world. I know school is important, but so are my life experiences... What do I do?

Choice 1 : Take a sabbatical year.

Choice 2 : Study hard and get the internship.

Move closer to university.

I move to my new apartment and begin to focus on my schoolwork. During the first few months, everything is going well. I learn about land structures, the climate system, bio geography, satellite images and so many other things. One day, as I am drawing a map in my room for my cartography course, I feel something moving on my leg. No no, this must be a nightmare. There is a freaking COCKROACH on me! I immediately jump of my chair, slip on my map that fell during the incident and I hit my head on my atlas. When I wake up, I realize I have been in a coma for two years straight. Why did choose the cheapest apartment...

Choice 1 : Start again.

Take a sabbatical year.

School can wait. I am way too afraid of missing out on life to refuse to take a sabbatical year! I decide to go in adventure around the world with some money I sat aside for my future. Two months into this crazy trip, I am sitting in the Trans-Siberian train in my way to Moscow. As I am watching the breathtaking landscapes that Russia has to offer, I slowly fall asleep. When I wake up, my luggage are gone, I can't find my passport and, obviously, all of my money has been stolen. At least I still have my clothes...

Choice 1 : Start again.

Study hard and get the internship.

Travelling can wait. School is more important! Plus, this internship could be a really great opportunity for my career. In my first day as an intern, I enter the university and catch sight of someone that seems familiar. Another glimpse confirms my doubts. This is my ex, and she is the one that's supposed to train me into my training. There's NO WAY I can do this. Before she sees me, I run back outside. Never mind this big career opportunity, I'd rather work in a dead-end job than having to work with my ex!

Choice 1 : Start again.

Bachelor in Anthropology.

Here I go! I'm learning everything I have to know about the human race and its evolution. How exciting is this?! However, this program leads to four different specializations. I hesitate between archeology and ethnology. I have to make a very thoughtful decision. What should I specialize in?

Choice 1 : Specialize in archeology

Choice 2 : Specialize in ethnology

Specialize in archeology.

I feel like Indiana Jones! I am proud of myself for choosing such an adventurous choice of a program. Two years into this archeology program, a professor invites me to an excavation school, where I can concretely practice excavation techniques and learn the ropes of being an archeologist. What a chance! However, If I go to this school, I miss an important conference that could allow me to get a foot in the door of the world of archeology and where I could meet renowned archeologist and ask them questions. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Go to the conference

Choice 2 : Go to excavation school

Specialize in ethnology.

I really rock these ethnology courses! I learn about cultural diversity and stereotypes and bias about different ethnic groups. At the end of my first session, I have an important and though work to accomplish. I could do it alone, or I could do it in a team. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Work alone.

Choice 2 : Work in a team.

Go to the conference.

This conference is seven hours away from Montreal. I could drive to get there or I could get there by train. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Drive to the conference

Choice 2 : Take the train to get to the conference

Go to excavation school.

This school is a great way to put into practice everything that I have been studying for the past few years. Plus, I get to meet students as passionate as me, make contacts in the world of archeology and know all the ins-and-outs of this profession. I feel like a great career is ahead of me, and I could not be prouder of myself. I am so glad to be able to realize my dreams!

Choice 1 : The End

Drive to the conference.

This is a very long drive, it is worse than any kind drudgery. This was a stupid idea. I am a full-time student, I work twenty-five hours a week to pay my bills AND I have a girlfriend. I am way too tired to be able to focus on the road for seven hours! I slowly begin to fall asleep, lose the control of my car and crash at the bottom of a ravine. I am way too young to die! Plus, I don't even have any pension to give to my girlfriend!

Choice 1 : Start again.

Take the train to get to the conference.

When I arrive at the conference, I sit next to a classmate. When the experts start talking, I pay closely attention to what they are saying. As time flies by, I realize this is getting really boring. I came here to learn about massive extinctions, myths about the neanderthal and how to class a skull. All that I am hearing is how great the careers of the archeologists are. In a pure lack of pleasure and entertainment, I propose to the guy sitting next to me to get drinks at the bar not close from where we are. This makes me want to put aside school...

Choice 1 : Start again.

Work alone.

I absolutely underestimated this work. First, my time management is so bad that I can't submit it on time. Also, this task is so complex that it is impossible for me to concentrate and nail all of the work. In three words, I am screwed. I decide to quit school and work at a dead-end job. I just abandoned my purpose and the chance to get a premium wage with a career in research.

Choice 1 : Start again.

Work in a team.

My teammates are maddening. We can't get any work done because they don't communicate, and they expect me to do all the work. This is too much for me. As I gathered everyone to finish our project, no one shows up on time. When they finally do, I can't contain all of my anger towards them and I start a fight. I break someone's nose, scratch another's arm and pull some hair. Obviously, the schools kicks me out, and I end up working at a fast-food for the rest of my life.

Choice 1 : Start again.
