I can't really remember if I had a dream job as a child ... I think I never really thought about professions until I was forced to it. However, after finishing high school I had some options like kinesiology or occupational therapy because I wanted to help people but then I realized that I can't deal with injuries so it was not my area at all. I'm not really good at maths either so I guess my options were always closer to the humanist area.

One thing that helped me decide to become an English Teacher was the fact that with English I had different job possibilities like working at schools, institutes, higher education, tourism, as english tutor, etc. Moreover, I enjoyed teaching so I think I made the right choice.
Before getting to Universidad de Chile I worked in other places like schools and english institutes but I didn't like all the bureaucracy of these institutions. At this moment, I feel comfortable working with university students because they are responsible at this age and I like to meet people from the different faculties.
I don't know for how long I'll be working here, or if I'll continue as a teacher for many years but there's one thing I know... at the age of fifty I'd like to move to the south of chile and work there in something different, I don't know... maybe something related with tourism. Well, this is for now maybe I'll change my mind in the future, you never know that's around the corner.
It's a radical change!!! from health area to humanist area , but your story is really awesome. I hope that your dreams come true.
ReplyDeleteI think in study english in part of my life, but I don't like teach because I don't have so much patience. I have a year without english and now I don´t know how talk it xD
ReplyDeleteI agree with Thomas, what a radical change! But the important is take good decisions and feel happy with what you're doing.
ReplyDeletewhy did you say that you don't like the bureaucracy of these institutions? do you have a bad experience working there?
