My future job (but I hope that's not the only one)

I started to study anthropology in the 2019, before that I always want to writting things, speacially essasys and reports, something more like journalist or literature (I study anthropology because the “mix” of story, philosophy and language).

In the beginning I knew that this career had the “ability” to change the things, and that’s motivated me a lot but in an “academy way”.

That changes when I started the subject “The work of anthropologist” with the teachers Flora Vilches and Jorge Razeto I found a new perspective of the anthropology, more socially engaged, more comimtted with the people, with the victims of the capitalist system, the victims of injustice.

I would like to go to those places when people need help, communities affected by different problems such as environmental disasters, extractivism or the neglect of a company for example.

Anyways I want to write essays but also go to the people of a communities and try to help them.

The three specialities of anthropology in university of Chile (social, physical and arqueology) have their things where can help people, but I think social anthropology are more “direct” with the people indeed.

Talking about the salary, this is not bad at all (for mi expectations of life), seems good.

So that’s all, thanks Flora and Jorge for their work with that subject hehehe.
