Post 5: My Future Job


Well, this is something that I have thought about for a long time. At least in this moment of my life, I imagine my job as an archaeologist as one that combines teaching at a University (hopefully an English one) and investigations, with all the travels that imply that.

I would love to have the best of both worlds, which means to be in a nice University and a nice city, and at the same time, or with divided periods (like 6 months in the faculty and 6 in an outdoor place) being travelling to make investigations. So, if I had the chance I probably would not travel so much, but I would do it at least once a year.

In terms of the salary, I can not give any numbers, because for me that is not a big deal, whenever the salary allows me to live comfortably and without many preoccupations, I would be more than satisfied. 

Right now I am in the second year of the major of Anthropology at the Universidad de Chile, and in the future, I am planning to do a master in Archaeology at the Universidad de Chile because that is the University in which I am studying right now so it would be easier for me to enter on that master, and that master it would be really useful for my professional career because it gives me more diversity of themes to study than other masters. After that, I want to go to another country and maybe do another kind of master, and then finally the PhD... and, who knows, perhaps a post PhD. So, I could say that I want to follow the classic academic path!

- Here you can see a lovely photo of my faculty! Because I am just in the half of my second year of university, I can not talk so much about the changes that I would like to apply to my career, but I will do my best to tell certain things that I have thought about until this moment. First, I have thought that the curriculum generally speaking is fine, except for maybe one or two subjects that I truly believe are bad subjects. In our first semester of the career, we had one subject called: Leer, Escribir y Hablar en las Ciencias Sociales, as you may imagine this subject was meant to be a kind of introduction to university writing, something that could give us some basic knowledge to read and write in this new chapter of our education, well... let's say that basically, this subject was everything less that, it was just a complete mess and a waste of time and resources, if the faculty want to keep with this subject they will need to do something way better than this. Like I said befor...

Post 3: Let's talk about the pandemic

Due to the coronavirus, many people are struggling with many different problems, problems like the economic crisis, which is affecting common people and big enterprises, causing serious complications for almost everybody, increasing the inequity of our country and in most of the world.  There are also difficulties in terms of mental health because the world situation causes anxiety and fear, especially in those people that live alone or in older persons. Also, teleworking and online classes have not been the best experience for many of us, it is well known that those new kinds of work or study made life more difficult, many people now have problems with organization, sleeping habits, and with their yield in work/classes themselves. Today people had to change most of their lives, the way that we used to work, study, share with others, get out to the street, everything now is completely different. The vast majority of us is now living more connected to the internet and technologies t...
