Post 5- My Future Job
-
What kind of job would you like to have? How do you imagine it?
I studied English Linguistics, and I
always thought "what would my future job be?". And here I am!! as a
youngster I always wanted to have a fun, light, easy going and not too hard to
do job, but always wanted to be with people, so now I think I took the best
option.
From all the many areas I could work
in, I always wanted something neither too-much outdoors nor indoors,
furthermore I wanted something that would produce some kind of social change, a
good important and deep change.
In other matters, I wanted to travel,
to see the world, to meet strange people, well... strange meaning, different
than me and my friends and family. With teaching languages, I have been able to
do all the former, which leads me to think it was the right choice because if I
had selected a translation career, for instance, probably I would have already
been stressed from all the stillness and little dynamism of a job behind the
computer.
I tried working in an office once, in
a job that was not as stressful as a teacher's job. I enjoyed it a lot at
first, leaving work, going home and not having anything else to do was somewhat
rewarding but after a year, and after missing the classrooms a lot, I decided
to go back to stressful, challenging but rewarding teaching.
Nowadays, I am thinking on taking up
on PHD studies in the field of Applied Linguistics, I would like to do it
either in the Netherlands, Switzerland and/or England. I would like to do it in
those countries, well, in the two first ones because they have a long history
of successful multilingualism and because they are definitely good at
languages. England on the other hand, would be my last choice, and this is
because of a fact that gave birth to a joke, that is, - and please, no
offense-, but the joke says: "how do you call a person who speaks only one
language? […] you call ‘em British"...LOL
