Make Money, Find Meaning, Don’t Panic (Comment devenir riche, épanoui et détendu)

Amélie Hardy

The future is knocking. Between bold ambitions and unsettling doubts, young people reveal themselves in a guidance counselor’s office, wondering what their future profession should be. While the ambitions of some are brimming with ideas of grandeur, for others the horizon seems blurred and dizzying. In a series of sessions with a guidance counselor, they reveal their true selves.
