In Candy’s world, you shouldn't pressure a teenager about their future, even if Parcoursup has been a hassle.

Guys, "Candy" is a japanese anime from the 80's. 

All these speeches glorifying a gap year or "going out to discover the world" only hold educational value in theory.

In reality, it's just legitimizing their aimlessness—if not outright encouraging it. A terrible idea.

It usually goes hand in hand with the glorification of failure, the quest for self-discovery, the celebration of diverse career paths, and all that conceptual salad.

You're only fostering a disconnect from reality.

Remember: we live in Candy’s world.

🎶 In Candy’s world, like in every land,
We laugh, we cry, we understand.
There are villains, there are friends,
A tale that twists and bends. 🎶

🎶 And when the times get tough and cold,
True friendships shine, they're made of gold.
A little mischief, a spark of glee,
That’s the life of Candy! 🎶

But despite the sugary, childlike tone of the theme song, Candy’s life is far from a fairy tale. It's no Care Bears fantasy.

Thankfully, some parents still have common sense—demanding more than ridiculous advice, sugarcoated in fake kindness, that only breeds indecision.

And it’s for them that I designed for 20 years now, my career guidance programs.
