The strike

Education in Chile its going through a rough patch, but this is not for now only, its been going on for a long time. Truth be told the private education, college education mostly, it came to give options to the youth in order to increase the ratio of choices and access to this education, also brought with itself a huge amount of bad things that hasn´t been fixed until today. The high prices of the careers and the debt that the young ones have to take in order to study, are only the most visible problem, but not the only one, since the quality of the education is other subject open for discussion.
From the communication area, my way to fix this issue, is creating the debates of this kind of topics, so the people starts to think about the education and understand the urgency that this subjects has. I can also help sharing the knowledge that the university shares with my in order to be used by other groups that want to change the actual scenario.
I believe that the strikings are a very effective way to put pressure, as long as this time is used effectively. Whether is making aliances with others groups of students and working organizations and even doing works related to the social changes.
Finally, for me the strike doesn´t mean that the stage of the students y seen undermined , since knowledge isn´t only in the classroom.

Postgraduate studies

I have a lot of interest in getting myself in a post graduate course, however, I haven´t thought deeply which one to take exactly. Between my options, in the journalism and communication area, there are the ones that our institute teaches.

 From the variety that it has, the ones that interest me the most are the ones of political or social communication. Both have a duration of two years, the first one has a profile of knowledge in the political process lived in south America, in order to produce people that do research in this field, besides of studying the extraordinary amounts of information that goes live in different channels.

My goal is to improve my comprehension of the different phenomena that affect our society from the communicational point of view, in order to have incidence in some level in the debates that goes around the day to day changes.

Another possibility is to go forward in the english language, acquire a very good level in order to use it in the work area, if that where the case, I would like to travel out of the country to learn this language from first source, and incorporate it in my daily living.   

My future Job

The first time that came to my mind become a journalist, I dreamed about travel around the world, knowing and enjoying while I was doing my job. Nowdays I’m aware that to accomplish that goal the road is long and hard with lots of sacrifices but I’m decided to achieve it.
usually, at the beginning of the work stage, the work is done in the office, always in the front of the computer writing news of little importance, although there is always the possibility of be a part of some organization and be in charge of the media department which seems to be a lot funnier than doing "copy/paste" from other news pages.
Another aspect that seems important to me when you pick a job is the work environment, I can´t imagine myself spend a big part of my days along with people that aren´t very healthy in a social way.
one of the reasons which I choose this career was because I found in it the possibility of enjoy what I will do in the work related side of my life, so always before making a choice I will consider with who and where I will spend the rest of my days.
In the side of journalism, I would like to learn about the political communication, since it allows me to be an active part of the debates that affect our society.
Finally, I go back to the idea that my ideal job, will be the one that I can travel covering plenty of cultural situations and being able to have a high grade of independence respect to what I communicate.
