Jade's career choices.

The beginning of college.

It was the first day of school at college. I just got out of high school and this is a new world for me. New school, new friends and new teachers. I study accounting. I know nothing about this field, but I didn't know what else to study in. I am a calm and meticulous person, so it seemed right. A few months after starting school, my friends asked me if I wanted to go on a year long vacation in Asia with them. I was really confused between going on that vacation, going to work full time at a random job, or to stay in school and pursue my career in accounting.

Choice 1 : Go on vacation with my friends

Choice 2 : Go work at a full time job

Choice 3 : Stay at school

back to school

Go on vacation with my friends.

I am really excited to go on that vacation with my friends. No rules, no adults to tell us what to do and party all night. Nothing could go wrong. I had a little bit of money in my bank account from working last summer. I wanted to buy a car, but that vacation is a better choice for now, I will make more money later, so I will be able to buy one. So, destination Thailand! Arrived in Thailand, some of my friends want to stay in the big city, Bangkok, and some want to go in the smaller cities.

Choice 1 : Stay in Bangkok

Choice 2 : Go in the smaller cities

Friends at the airport

Go work at a full time job.

I decided that accounting wasn't made for me after all, so I went to give my CV to places where they hire new people. I went at two restaurants, two clothing stores and one convenience store. Only one restaurant called me back for an interview. They are looking for a waitress. That is perfect for me because I will make a lot of money. The day after they called, I went for an interview, and they liked me. I am starting next week. Two months later, I love this job, and I will stay there for a long time I think!

working as a waitress

Stay at school.

I decided to make the most rational choice, and stay in school. I am liking accounting. It is easy for me because my the teachers that help me. I have made some friends while the ones that I had are on vacation. Of course, I can't wait for them to come back and hear all of their stories, but I am happy that I will finish my degree before them. Three years later, I finally finished my degree! Now, I need to make the choice between going to work as an accounting technician or go to university and become an accountant.

Choice 1 : Work as an accounting technician.

Choice 2 : Go to university.

School

Stay in Bangkok.

Wow! I am happy that I stay in Bangkok. Everything is so different from where I live. The food, the culture and the people. It amazes me. Two weeks after being there, money has started to become rare for me. It's either I stay here and work illegally or I go back home.

Choice 1 : Stay in Bangkok and work

Choice 2 : Go back home.

Bangkok

Visit the smaller cities.

Wow! The smaller cities are so beautiful. Everything is calm, colorful and joyful. Citizens are happy to see new people come and visit their culture. I love visiting Buddhist temples, even if it is not my religion. They are amazing. But, it is so calm, maybe I want to go party a little bit. On the other hand, I am missing my family and my home. Do I go back home, or I go to Bangkok?

Choice 1 : Go back home.

Choice 2 : Go to Bangkok.

buddhist temple

Stay in Bangkok and work.

I decided to stay in Bangkok and work illegally. I know it's not the moral thing to do, but I love it here. I started working at a bar as a bartender. I work from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. I love the night-life! I make a lot of new friends and started to speak Thai more fluently. One night, the police searched the bar. I didn't have time to go hide, so arrested me. I don't have to choice to go back home now.

Choice 1 : Go back home.

bangkok's nightlife

Go back home.

Feels good to be back home! I missed my family, my home, my dog and my friends. I can't wait to see what life awaits me here. Maybe, I will go back to school or have some new adventures, who knows?

welcome back home

Work as an accounting technician.

Two accounting firms approached me when I got out of school. One of them is a smaller one, it is a familial firm. People are nice and close together. The other firm is a big one in downtown Montreal. I had an interview with the accounting director, he seemed cold and strict. The only thing is that the salary is obviously better in the big firm than in the smaller one. I don't know what to choose.

Choice 1 : Work at the smaller accounting firm.

Choice 2 : Work at the big accounting firm.

Accounting technician

Go to university.

University is huge! I don't think I will make some friends. Accounting in university is much harder than in CEGEP and teachers aren't as much closure with their students. I don't know I want to continue to study here. Should I go work as an accounting technician or stay in university?

Choice 1 : Work as an accounting technician.

Choice 2 : Stay in university.

university

Go to Bangkok.

Bangkok is so much bigger than the city I was in. People aren't as nice. It isn't as beautiful either. For sure, I will stay a bit here and visit, but I want to go back home now.

Choice 1 : Go back home.

Bangkok

Work at the smaller accounting firm.

This place is nice. I think that I will love it. People are welcoming, and I don't feel like a stranger here. The boy who trains me is the nicest with me. He is also cute, but I don't think that the feeling is mutual. On the staff Christmas party, I drank a little bit too much, and I told him how I feel. He didn't say anything back. Monday morning was really awkward. Should I leave to go work at the big firm, or should I stay here and hope that he forgets?

Choice 1 : Work at the big accounting firm.

Choice 2 : Stay and hope that he forgets.

small accounting firm

Work at the big accounting firm.

People are cold here, even the person who is doing my training. Even if the salary is better, I don't think that I will like it here. I better go at the smaller firm.

Choice 1 : Work at the smaller accounting firm.

big accounting firm

Stay in university.

University is so hard! I don't have time to do anything else to do than to study, but I want to become an accountant, so I will persevere. A few years later, I finally got my degree. Now, I need to make the choice between opening my own firm with one of my closest friends, or I go work for someone.

Choice 1 : Open my own firm.

Choice 2 : Go work for someone.

university

Stay and hope that he forgets.

I decided to stay at this firm because I love it, and I feel comfortable here, even if I maybe created an awkward situation with my colleagues. We didn't talk the week after the staff Christmas party. The next Monday, he came to talk to me. He confessed that he also has feelings for me since I started working there. We both decided to keep our relationship on the low, but some of our coworkers started to notice something the two of us. We announced it, and everyone was happy for us!

relationship at work

Open my own firm.

I am opening my own firm with one of my closest friends for school. We get along really well. A few months after we opened the firm, things started to go south. We were always arguing. We decided that I would be for the best if we close down the firm and go work for someone else.

Choice 1 : Go work for someone.

openning

Go work for someone.

My dad accountant, who has become his friend over the years, has offered me a job at his firm. Of course, I know him well, and I think that he will be a good boss. Indeed, a few months after I started there, everyone has nice to me. I love my job!
