My grandson is afraid of not being able to choose his career

Dear Évelyne, as you say, your grandson is driven by a dream, perhaps inspired by a reading, a film or a character by Jules Verne? One way to validate your idea will be to meet marine and research specialists. Since the majority of schools and training courses are located near the coast, he will need support, but there may be a way to combine business with pleasure… Otherwise, his parents may be aware of a mentoring system distance learning dedicated to adolescents in rural areas, such as Chemins d’avenirs. Thanks to these exchanges, your grandson will discover that there are different “scientific professions in the marine environment”, from marine biologist to coastal oceanographic engineer, including pilot of underwater vehicles, with work in the laboratory, in the office or by boat! How to help Enzo? By discussing with him, by allowing him to plan for higher studies, because, after his scientific baccalaureate, he must plan a course of three to five years. Your grandson will have to go to boarding school or stay in town. He could be stopped by a very natural apprehension, but he is lucky to have a family who cares about his future.
