Future Job

Speaking about of a “instant” job, it isn’t necessary to imagine in excess if we considering that actually I am studying anthropology. In this case, my career gives me too much interest, in first place, for it flexibility in the actual laboral field, and a second one could be its applications in diverse social contexts. But, like some things in the world, my career has one or two principal problems: the actual demand in work, a very unstable standard in remunerations and a general ignorance of the people if we talk about the practical and instant results. Some things that compromise the reliability of the employers.  

Considering then a specific mention of my career, my principal interest falls into physical anthropology or deeper, in forensic anthropology. In few words, it attracts me directly because its application and usefulness make it a bit more solid, in my opinion, in the laboral field. Reason one, a subject of study too much “real”, current, or “palpable” in our context: the finding of the disappeared detainees, victims of the military dictatorship. And reason two, also a direct product of this, a more knowledge of the people about the practical importance of the job.

Now, if I must be honest, my interest in long-terms falls into the teacher job, specifically, history teacher job. It attracts me generally because I really enjoy the task of teaching other people. Feel that sensation of satisfaction when you really can dissipate their doubts.

But also, I have to recognize that the job it isn’t too easy. You have to have a charismatic personality to focus all the attention most of the time. Have too much dominion of your content, reflected in the capacity to abridge clearly in explanations and the capacity to contextualize all the content for a successful knowledge, etc. Generally, I think it require that kind of experiences that only can be obtained “naturally” with the pass of the years.

A very tough road, but I really think that I can do it. I hope that you too 😉

Concert/Holiday Topic

 

First of all, let me be honest. I have never gone to a concert until now, that’s because, sadly, some of my favourite artist are actually dead (Like Michael Jackson or Chester Bennington), other rarely or never have gone to Chile (like ACDC) and speaking about the last ones, I don’t have the sufficient enthusiasm or fanaticism to go to see them in a live concert… they are something like “casual artists” I perfectly can see them through YT or TV… So, as you can see, I don’t have too much to say about this particular topic hah... :c

Now, referring to holidays, sadly I neither can say a lot if you are waiting for a specific situation, I guess my best holidays was those where I was a child; like my first experience in the beach, my first trip in bus, my first trip to Concepción, etc. You know… that kind of experiences that never leave your mind. Lifetime memories.

But sincerely, looking for a excuse to ending positively the post, i have discover that, along with that feeling of "pessimism" that sometimes emerge with maturity that many times move you to be disappointing with the reality of your world, i also have learnt to enjoy the short moments. Even if the last holidays weren't the best ones, never its too late to take advantage of the situation and make "little smiles". These are unique. Unrepeatable moments in your life with your loved ones. 

A country i would like to visit

As a person that only has visited less than half of its own country, is natural to think that I would like the idea of travel to other one. But, contrary to a general prospect, I would like to travel first through my own continent before visiting places radically distant and one of my favorite options is Mexico.

In first place, I have too much curiosity and interest about their culture and idiosyncrasy. Specifically, about their architecture, their celebrations, their way of dressing, etc. For this, i think that places like Ciudad of Mexico (D.F), Guadalajara or Guanajuato look nice to start.

Other reason, more “historical” than the first one is related around their past as the cradle of one of the most important civilizations of America, the Aztecs and Mayans. I’ve always had a special interest about these cultures, and visit that iconic places when they were living would be the perfect occasion to bring together a dream of my childhood with the anthropological interests included in the profile of my career.  For this, I think that places like Chichen Itza or Kukulcán are ideal to continue the trip.

The last one, but not necessarily less important, is related about their people. I’ve always had a good perception of them; they seem very friendly, very hospitable, that kind of people that always are able to make you smile.
