| Zusammenfassung: | From an exploratory perspective, the study aimed to better understand the phenomenon of career choices during the post-baccalaureate transition by examining the psychosocial processes at work in parental interference patterns, as well as the dynamics of the emerging meaning of studies in this context. Thus, ten retrospective interviews were conducted with individuals aged 20 to 25, mostly from privileged social backgrounds, who perceived their career choices as being endured. A dual analysis of the accounts collected, one automated and lexicometric and the other manual and thematic, reveals processes of influence that are more suggestive than direct, with an emphasis on the overvaluation of certain fields of study in parental discourse. The consequences reported include moments of suffering, difficulties in projecting into the future, and a lack of meaning in studies. The gain in meaning often appears to be linked to a feeling of regaining control over one’s educational path, ranging from peripheral choices (options, schools) to a focus on what one enjoys (subject, working methods) within the original field of study, or even to a reorientation of the curriculum. The discussion addresses the importance of considering the development of agency in relation to that of meaning in support programs. |
