Blog 5: My future job

 Hi folks!

Today I'm going to talk about my future job, but first I want to mention other things. Anthropology is my third career (and the first too). I studied Anthropology, then biology and finally anthropology again. I always had a diverse mind. I have a dream, and then I exchange it for another, and then again. Therefore, it’s complicated to choose a job. Also, sometimes I think that I will won't work in something related to my career. But today I will try to imagine a job.

For now, I want to choose the archaeology mention, because I like archaeological materials. And I also want to integrate the knowledge that I learned in biology, such as zoology, botanic and ecology. For this reason, I could work reconstructing paleoenvironments in archaeological contexts.

This work has a laboratory part, because I will have to analyze the samples. But it also has a part of fieldwork, and that's the one I like the most. Thanks to this work I will be able to make many trips, although they will be work trips. I would like to travel throughout Latin America, because I prefer to know my continent first.

I haven't thought much about salary, but I've been told that archeology is well paid in Chile. And since I no longer have scholarships (for having studied other careers before) I do not plan to study a magister yet.

Well, this has been all. We meet next week!
