Journey as an Indecisive Student

Welcome to University.

After two years of hard work at the Maisonneuve College, a CEGEP located near your house, it is finally time for you to choose a field of study. You have always been a straight-As student and know quite a lot about time management. Since you always pull off amazing grades, you can freely decide which program you want to continue in. You are particularly interested in the Physics and Informatics program and the Business Major. You know that by studying in physics and informatics, your wage can become impressive, and it is tempting you. On the other hand, it would be an accomplishment for you to start your own business.

A Scientist, but Not in a White Blouse.

After a long reflection, you choose to study in natural and computer sciences. You always wanted to travel and now that you are a soon-to-be university student, you think about studying abroad. Even if it requires a lot of organization, you are confident that the fulfillment will overtake any difficulties. You also know that there are many advantages to staying in your home country. You can either select the UdeM, located in your city, or a famous university abroad.

Don't Worry, It Is Not That (Harv)hard.

Congratulations! You are finally a Harvard student! Unfortunately, after a poor web hosting project, a virus accesses Harvard’s database! Plus, your software is now completely unusable. You end up failing all of your exams! Therefore, you are kicked out of Harvard. You have no choice but to come back home in Montreal.

Choice 1 : Welcome to University.

Harvard

Montreal, the City of Traffic Cones.

The administration of the UdeM is more than glad to welcome you to their institution. You attend a meeting explaining to you the functioning of the program. In physics, you will learn more about relativity, electricity, waves and nuclear! While in computer sciences, you will learn about cloud computing, defragmentation, and encryption. You cannot be more excited about your first semester. But there is still a problem: your house is 2 hours away from the main campus. Do you stay where you are, or do you move in one the university residences?

Choice 1 : A New and Cosy (And Tiny) Apartment!

Choice 2 : Thank You, Mom, To Not Make Me Pay Rent.

A New and Cozy (And Tiny) Apartment!

A few weeks before the beginning of class you move in with your best friend. You rent a beautiful apartment in front of the university. It is the best experience you have ever lived of your entire life! Since you study in the same program, you always do your homework and assignments together. You are pulling off amazing grades! Because of that, you are offered either a one-year internship in Montreal or a year abroad in one of the most prestigious Korean universities.

Choice 1 : An Interesting Internship.

Choice 2 : 여보세요? (Hello?).

Apartment

Thank You, Mom, To Not Make Me Pay Rent.

You want to save as much money as you can, so you decide to stay home with your parents even if the school is far from your place (and that is a big disadvantage). After less than a month, your sleep schedule is completely altered. You even confuse the Internet and a server in your exam! Your results quickly drop, and you are forced to reconsider your future in this field.

An Interesting Internship.

You are now on-the-job-training in a great science center. You learn the ropes quickly and are put in the new scientific blog project with a mentor. As an intern, you also must create an application and a social media for children to learn more about science. You are almost overwhelmed by the quantity of data you must deal with. After less than a month, you accidentally delete the laboratory’s backup! This costly mistake costs you your internship….

Choice 1 : Welcome to University.

Science center

여보세요? (Hello?).

For your third and last year of your bachelor’s degree, you are sent to 연세 University, one of the most renowned South Korean universities. After only a few months at your new school, an important nuclear firm based in Korea notices your talent for nuclear physics programming. You know everything when it comes to an operating system and how to create a scientific script. They do not even ask for an interview and offer you a premium wage job after your graduation. Needless to say, it is not a horrible dead-end job.

Choice 1 : The Good Old Days.

Yonsei University

The Good Old Days.

Now that you are old, you look back at your past decisions. Indeed, the scientific and informatics fields were perfect for you! You learned a lot as a student and found a fulfilling job in a country you loved. You helped a lot of people by providing them electricity and heat with the nuclear central you worked in. You smile as those memories fill your mind with joy and pride. You realise you lived a life worth living.

You learn a lot in this class. Even if you do not enjoy it that much, you know a company needs an accountant. With your new abilities, you know how to avoid debt and being bankrupt. You also plan on marketing your store by meeting a potential investor. He proposes to launch your product in exchange for a share of your company. That would make him a major shareholder. Do you accept his offer?

Choice 2 : No, Thank You.

A Business Friend? Great!

Choice 1 : Welcome to University.

Friends

No, Thank You.

You refuse his help and try to do everything on your own. Your salary is quite low for a businessperson. You are a bit short on money, even if the price of your product is reasonable. Because of your lack of experience, your benefits are small. You are skeptical about your career path. You decide to put aside the business to focus entirely on university. At least, until you are done with your program.
