job

Although I have not had many jobs in my life, but I think choose one as the ideal job is very difficult.

For example, I would like be a notary, but I don’t want study five years the lawyer career.

Well, I think I have three ideal jobs (I consider excellent works) each one of them related about social sciences and administration.

The first ideal job is be a social science researcher, specialized in political relations, in education or in other area important for me.

The second, is being a public server, working in a municipality or public services dependent of a department.

Finally, I would like working related to the social science, but from a foundation or ONG, linked to the social problems existing in Chile.

These three careers are related with the social science, and in specific with the political science, public administration or sociology. Is for this reason, that I decided studied my actual career.

Now, of course, in the majority of these jobs, I need contacts (“pitutos”) for be able to have a good and calm situation (with stable job and good salary). And, unfortunately, I don’t have a lot of contacts haha.

In relation to the profit, I’m not interested (I don’t think) in win a lot of money, only that which is required to have a comfortable situation. So, I think the profit is related, essentially, to my personal vocation.

The great rupture

Well, actually i'm reading differents papers for the university, but, one author is very important for me, because her topics are linked with political situation in our country.

The author is Manuel Antonio Garreton, who wrote many articles in the last thirty years. In specific, I'm reading about the relation between politic and society, as reflected very well in her last book: the great rupture.

In the past, he write others papers and books linked with this topic, for example, "Unidad Popular: political conflict in Chile or "Chilean political process", both very good articles, but being her last book it's more updated with political environment and the actually discussions in the social sciences. It also includes a chapter about the changes in different social class in Chile.

The book it's divided in multiple chapters, most of them were written by prominent authors of sociology.
Besides, the text it's not so long, about two hundred pages.

I really enjoying with this book, because I'm interested in her analysis about the chilean society and its mutation. So, the utility of the text, for me, not only entertains me, besides helps me to approve subject.

Finally, I recommend reading this book for everyone who wants learn about the national situation, our problems and ours challenges as society.

My friend

Well, one of my best friends is certainly Jose Ignacio Herrera (Brito).

He is a student of anthropology, in this faculty. He is 23 and lives in Peñalolén.

We met in 2012, at student assemblies and also on Fridays after finished the classes.

We have many elements in common. We are interested in politics and also we like differents authors of social science,
in specially related with the marxism ( Marx, Gramsci, Faletto, etc).

Besides, we shared the importance of education for the country. We are interested in the student movement, and its political organizations.

In addition, we also like to go to parties together, and play computer games. Ragnarok Online or Age of Empires are our favorite games.

We speak every week, but before was much more.

We have some differences, for example, in the music we like or clothing style. In addition, we don't have many friends in common, perhaps because we studied different disciplines.

In general, however, they are very good times with him. I hope we continue our friendship even after university.

We have been thinking about the possibility of studying a new career together, but there is nothing concrete yet.

I think we would lose a lot of time if we study together, so better we will follow different paths jeje.
