My Future Job

Today's post will be about your career expectations. Try to answer these questions as you plan your writing:
  • What kind of job would you like to have? How do you imagine it? 
  • Outddoors/indoors?
  • What about the salary?
  • What major are you studying/are you thinking of taking?
  • Add any other related ideas.
As always, include comments on three of your classmates' posts plus a comment on mine too. Try not to write less than 210 words.
Teaching while doing Uber
I'm considering the possibility of furthering my studies in linguistics. Surely I must have said something about this before. Though I could continue working as I am doing it now, taking into account that I am already in a very good position, there is still/always a need to  have a much deeper understanding of how and why something works in my professional field. That is to say, you never end up completely satisfied with what you do. You always find a 'but' in the way. Do not misread me. This is not a bad thing at all. On the contrary, as our experience and scientific knowledge grows in teaching, some principles and methods that may be right now will inevitably have to go along with the big changes. If they are still 'right', off we go with them then; if not, why keeping them? 
We cannot deny the fact that everything around us is changing, especially due to technology and its socio-political effects. So if teachers were still considered necessary in an ever-changing future system, we would have to be able to 'learn, unlearn, and relearn' things very fast (Alvin Toffler).
So, in this ever-changing world, I'd like to gain more stability and respect in my job. I know this sounds sort of utopian, having in mind the poor condition of public education in Chile. But I really don't understand why teachers are seen and treated as non-professionals. Do you know what I mean? Diminished. Once I read somewhere that teachers in Germany are paid comparably well to other professionals. That should mean something to us. I wouldn't like to see a highly-qualified teacher doing uber part time.

    I think Uber is a great source to earn extra money. But is a little bit dangerous since the trouble with the taxi drivers:/

    I believe that this is due to the fact that education is undervalued in Chile and even more so in the public sphere, I hope that in the future the work of a teacher will be valued.

    Yes teachers in Chile are disminished, fact that is hard to understand for me but unfortunately true. I think is a very admirable career and one of the most important in the world

Postgraduate studies

The task assigned to us this time is writing about a postgraduate degree/different programme you would like to study in the future. In order to accomplish this mission, you should elaborate the following: reasons to do the course subjet(s) you would like to study where you would like to study (Chile or abroad) how you would like o study (distance learning, blended system, part-time course, etc) any other relevant ideas. A quality text should have no less than 220 words. And remember to leave commnets on three of your classmates' posts and your teacher's post too. Knowledge, or not knowledge,  that is the question   Okay, this is gonna sound very repetitive. I'll try to be as creative as I can to rephrase the idea I've been insisting on throughout all my blog posts: I'd love to continue studying. Why? because there's no way I could continue working in this field without constantly updating my Knowledge -by Knowledge, I obviously mean something more...

The Best Concert Ever

What's the best concert you've ever been to and why? Bear in mind: when / where it was  the artist they saw  a bit of info about the artist  describe the atmosphere during the event  describe how you felt and why you enjoyed it  any other memories about it Don't forget to: add pictures. make comments on three of your classmates's posts and your teacher's one too.   use no less than 170 words.  Lollapalooza In spite of the fact that I've been compulsively collecting music for quite a long time, I haven't attended as many of my favourite artists' gigs as I would like to. To me, this is sort of an unacceptable audiophile case, as anyone who dares to call himself/herself a true music lover is expected to enjoy music in its purest and highest sound quality. There's no better way to judge music value than listening to artists live, especially when talking about music styles that are supposed be really loud.  Anyway, I think the b...
