Digression(s)À quoi servent les études ?! Ce que ça nous a apporté et (surtout) pas apporté.#1 Dans ce premier épisode, on parle de notre parcours dans le système scolaire français et étranger. De nos choix (et non choix) d'orientation et ce qui nous a poussé à faire les études qu'on a fait. Luca a étudié le Droit et Tom a fait une École de Commerce et des études en Sciences Politiques au Royaume Uni.
On revient aussi sur ce que nos études nous ont apporté et surtout sur ce qu'elles ne nous ont pas apporté. En racontant ce qu'on a donc dû apprendre et découvrir par nous-mêmes.
