Anthropology a little-known career



When I was a child I dreamed about being a scientist who performs studies, discoveries and invented machines. But that didn't last long, overtime in secondary I didn't like Math or Chemistry but I did prefer Biology that's why I became interested in the health's area with careers like medicine, although I was always interested in psychology or sociology to study human behavior and social processes. Later when I cursed third and fourth year in High School, I did considered other careers like dentistry, architecture, or geology, besides the others I mencioned. Therefore it was so difficult to choose one, because my interests were varied, I finally decided on Anthropology because I like the variety of subjects and topics covered.


And my experience at university has been very good, I love the atmosphere of the campus and the possibility of fully developed beyond academic and not necessarily by teachers and classes but by people and partners you known and the workshops or talks that you can attend. 
Regarding the kind of job I would like to have, I'm not completely sure yet but I know I want to mention social anthropology, because is the most interesting and because it's more directly related to topics and social issues. And I think that if Anthropology is little known it is because it isn't responsible for applying the knowledge produced.

  2. When we were younger we thought work in things that we really like. So I believe that is important some times comeback to past to remember what was this important things.
    About the job, I think that is the duty of the new generations (include us) to make the knowledge production accessible for all.
    See you later :)
