My dream job

 Hi bloggers


Have you ever thought about what you are going to do in the future for not die of starving? I'm sure you did. Well, I did it too, but maybe I failed because I'm studying anthropology, and my career is not cost effective here in my country, but I'm happy, we can live of hapinness, right?. Ok no, so I've been thinking of what I'm going to do in 2 years more.

First of all, I always thought that it doesn't matter in what you're going to work, if you like it, and if you can help to the people and contribute in some way to the society. So, the choice of my dream job is not for a monetary thing, like high salry. With the anthropology I think that I can work in many fields, is a dinamic career. But what I like most is work outdoor, do fieldtrips, meet people and know more about different kinds of life. This year I have an assignature called "anthropology of nature", where we have to visit rural sites and observe the relationship of the people with the environment. With some classmates we're working with the people of Catapilco, and the most amazing thing is feel that you're finally being useful in something.

In anthropology you can choose between archaeology, and social or physical anthropology. I choose social anthropology because I can feel closer to the people and their problems, but I didn't think about an specific field yet. As I say at the beggining, I like to go outside, make investigations,etc. However, I'm not close to work in municipal programms or government entities, developing programms related to topics of migration, original cultures, neighborhoods, and others. If I have to choose between a better salry and satisfaction, I think that I will take the second. I'm very happy with my career, and instead I like other jobs, I think that this is the one that I've been dreaming.

Take care!
