and therefore can adapt to
the situation.
a You can work in any sec-
tor of activity.
a Engineering seems very
technical. The word alone is
a bit scary. It's going to be
cotton. And the job is often
less.
a Engineers are not just
geeks, it's much broader.
a An engineer is someone
who does a scientist, calcu-
lations in his field, who
spends his time with for-
mulas, etc. While in fact it's
a I did computer science
studies. 15 years later, I joi-
ned a service where there
was computer science, but
production, exploitation.
While it had been several
years, it had been ten years
since I did it, so it moved a
lot in computer science. And
what was really cool was to
realize that, OK, things had
evolved, but I had the capa-
city to understand.

a It is a way of thinking, it

lations.
not at all that. An engineer
is really someone who will
work as a team, think
about all aspects of a pro-
ject, taking into account
the different collaborators
with whom he works.
a The big stereotype was
that being an engineer,
there are only calculations
everywhere. But not at all.
gree, I loved medicine, so I
did a first year of medicine,
the CES. I managed to get
the competition, I was taken
in the second year, except
that I realized that the way
of teaching, the manage-
ment, etc. did not corres-
pond to me, and the jobs I
was going to access later did
not correspond to me either.
So I wanted to stay in the
field of biology and biotech-
nology, and I arrived at the
engineering school.
a What I really love about
my studies, is that we meet
a lot of people from all over
the world. When you go to
an engineering school, you
really hear a lot of people
from all over France.
a So what I would say to
this CES, is that if you have
the ability, it's not to hesi-
tate.
a The thing that makes
you hesitate is the
complexity of the studies, or
the length of the studies. I
want to tell you, no one is
born knowing how to solve
equations, no one is born
knowing how to manage a
project from A to Z. Eve-
ryone learns it, it takes the
time it takes, but everyone
can learn it.
a You really shouldn't he-
sitate, and with the number
of fields, of specialties, we
inevitably find something
that we like. And even if at
the beginning, we realize
that it's not necessarily the
field we thought of, there is
always a way to evolve.
a If it makes you want to,
go for it, and in any case,
there are pathways, you can
