Unhappy with the direction of his career as dictated by his family, Du Picq completed his MA in art history in the following year and subsequently relocated to the port city of Gdansk to pursue primary research for his thesis in the subject. By the time he had settled in Gdansk, Du Picq's financial hardships as a young man abroad forced him to look for work whilst he completes his studies. In 1988, Du Picq was employed as a part-time journalist and critic on art and opera for the ''Gdansk Gazette''. A staunch critic of the government's suppression on free art, he became a divisive figure within his field. He lost his job after four months, which Du Picq claims was a political decision. | ||
To escape political persecution, he emigrated to the Kingdom of Lech. In early 2020, Du Picq enrolled at Imperial College Cracow, in order to join the Lech Navy. During his tenure, Du Picq reached the rank of Admiral and Commander of Flotilla 1, after being the Commanding Officer of the LNS Maximilian, a corvette and former flagship. Naval doctrine penned by Du Picq is still used today. This service in the military allowed Du Picq much more financial freedom, and subsequently moved to the newly-established nation of Aquitaine a few months after his retirement. | To escape political persecution, he emigrated to the Kingdom of Lech.
