My journey as a student of Sciences.

University programs choice.

I'm graduating from college in a few months and it's time to enroll in my university program for next fall. I am a pure and applied science's student, and I am strongly hesitating between three career choices... I am very hesitant and don't know what to choose. I could use some help!

Choice 1 : Civil engineering.

Choice 2 : aerospace engineering

Choice 3 : Bachelor's degree in physics

Civil engineering.

I am taken in civil engineering! Excellent choice that I do not regret. In order to graduate, I have to pass my courses in the university program, but also pass internships! In fact, I must have successfully completed 2 internships in my future job to graduate. I find this very interesting because it allows us to get used to it. My two internships...

Choice 1 : My two internships went well!

Choice 2 : Both my internships went badly!

Aerospace engineering.

Finally! I am accepted at the Polytechnic of Montreal to acquire a bachelor degree in aerospace engineering! After 4 years of study, I succeed in obtaining my diploma for this exciting profession. This sector is in high demand and I got very good grades. I don't think I would have a hard time finding my first job.

Bachelor's degree in physics.

I was accepted as a physics student at the University of Montreal. Exciting subjects of study await me: relativity, quantum mechanics or thermodynamics! Nevertheless, I will have to choose what to do after my bachelor's degree, and this is not an easy thing to go considering the many opportunities that are offered to me!

Choice 1 : Astrophysicist.

Choice 2 : Reorientation.

My two internships went well!

During my two internships, I managed to integrate easily into the team I was working with. The people who supervised me were very pedagogical and patient with me, my colleagues were pleasant and I had a very efficient work rhythm. I found these two internships beneficial for the rest of my career. Now that I'm a fresh graduate, I need to find a job in my field!

Choice 1 : This field is full of jobs !

Choice 2 : There is no job !

Both my internships went badly!

If only it weren't for these courses! I questioned my desire to work in civil engineering. Indeed, I found the internships very painful, especially because of the enormous workload and the lack of patience of my supervisors. They were not very responsive when I needed help. I don't know if I should go straight into this profession...

Choice 1 : Doctorate.

Choice 2 : Security guard.

Job Interview.

Today, I am having my first job interview for an aerospace company. Of course, I'm wearing my best clothes, not to mention my personal touch (a traditional Basque beret). The interview went well, I was a little nervous at first, but the employer made me feel confident and even showed me around the workplace. I think we get along well and I hope to be taken because there is a lot of competition for this position.

Choice 1 : Employed.

Choice 2 : Not employed.

Travelling.

After graduating, I decided to apply for a job abroad. Indeed, my wife wants to change country to raise our children in a better cultural context. Fortunately, my profession is open to international work and I have many potential opportunities.

Choice 1 : Algeria.

Choice 2 : Indonesia.

Astrophysicist.

I managed to get my bachelor's degree and here I am studying for a master in astrophysics! This course seems very hard, but after all the science I've ingested, I think I can last 2 more years in this field. Anyway, everything is easy when we are passionate!

Choice 1 : A hard program.

Reorientation.

After a year, I finally decided to change my field of study. I was not satisfied with the courses offered and changed my interests because of my family situation. I need to find something that I enjoy and that will provide financial security for my family. I'm not sure if I should go into a vocational program or another university programs...

Choice 1 : Professional training.

This field is full of jobs !

Having finished my studies, I was directly hired by the company that had taken me on for the internship. I am very satisfied with my salary and especially very surprised by the ease of finding a job in this sector!

There is no job !

Unfortunately, the company that took me on as an intern cannot hire me because there is a national crisis. Jobs are scarce in my sector.

Doctorate.

Even though my internships didn't go well, I didn't give up, and I even decided to get a doctorate in Addition to my bachelor's degree without a master's degree because it is possible in my educational path. This way, I would have more opportunities in the working world with a very full CV.

Security guard.

After my bad university experience and despite my degree, I am still reluctant to work in this sector. I am a security guard, as I have always been on the side of my studies, but I fear that it is a dead-end job.

Employed.

I had to wait for a week before receiving a call from my future employer to tell me that I was hired for the position I was applying for. I am very happy and proud of myself. I have to tell my family the good news soon!

Write a choice here.

Not employed.

After a few weeks of waiting, I was unfortunately not taken for the job I was applying for. I am totally upset by this news because I had staked everything on this job. I am still hopeful because this is not a hopeless situation.
