You live on the lower north shore. There's little culture in your community of higher education. To go to CEGEP or to post-secondary straight out of high school, you're going to be going to Quebec City. That's where you're going to learn your skills, but you're going to be away from your community.
I have never started a business myself, but my understanding of entrepreneurship is that small businesses run best in an environment where there are other businesses, where there are other entrepreneurs around. The idea of working in isolation in the lower north shore on a computer in your basement and starting a business is romantic but unrealistic. These young folks who have talent and a particular vocation go get their training and their education and then they move to a technology park like they have in Montreal now, down in Griffintown, or some other place. They're around people who are thinking about the same things and they can support each other. That's where the businesses start.
