When I finish the college...

While I’m coursing the career of psychology I always think about what course I would like to do relate with my working line. In the last months I’ve been thinking a lot of possibilities and I think my best option is a course of abilities and tools for therapy and to work with groups of people and where I learn methods to work with different age. In my college the course of social psychology and politics process is perfect for me.

I would like to study the development of society and psychology in Chile but also in other countries that I like as London, Peru, Argentina and United States. I also would like to study something related with resolution of conflicts in adolescents because I think is a elemental stage in our lives.

I want to study in Chile in first place to have a minimal knowledge and then I want to go abroad and learn about others cultures, their developments and how others societies conceive the reality, Chile and south America are not the center of the world and I think there are a lot of knowledge that I ignore now.

Ideally I would like to work 3 years after I finish the college and then I would like travel to another country, preferably to London and take a part-time course in the night, because I would like have a lot of time in the morning to visit their museums, appreciate their music and all their art in general, I would like meet new friends and stay around a year in London. I also would like to learn to play electric guitar and make a band in London after my classes.

My future job

In psychology I have a lot of options to work in the future; literally I have an unlimited field of application, so I can choose my dream work.

In my future work I would wear formal clothes like shirt, tie and elegant shoes. I would like work with a team, because I have a great time discussing and learn new things in my job with my workmates, and I would like have my own office and have long holidays because I always enjoy the summer with my family and friends. I hope to get a job where I don’t have to cope with children and where I don’t have to work on weekends, I don’t mind make a lot of money.

I would like to get a job where I can work outdoors, I hate offices, is necessary for me work outdoors with people. Also, I want to travel around the world as part of my job, I love travel and learn about other countries, obviously always related with my job.

I’m planning to work in a university so I would like work with my university in investigations and seminary.

I’m thinking to do a major in social psychology, because I think is the nearest major to my dream work and my expectations.

If in my work I need to work far from my family I will do it, but probably I would miss them.

Drugs in Chile

Each day drugs are more important for everyone in our society, specially for the youngest, they use drugs for recreational time and for get relax with friends, family or anyone else.

In Chile, the marijuana is the cheaper and most popular drug. Almost every person that I know smoke more marijuana than cigarettes and they prefer marijuana and not alcohol.

I think is marijuana is less dangerous than alcohol, because an accident that involves marijuana is rare, but I always listen about murders and people who die under the effects of alcohol. I don´t know if marijuana is useful for something in specific because I don’t consume and I don’t pay much attention to the news or the newspaper.

Nowadays only the alcohol and the cigarettes are legal in our country, but in recent years there has been a lot of controversy and discussion for make legal the commerce of marijuana, now you can consume but only if you cultivate your own plants.

I think the marijuana should be legal for everyone, because a huge percentage of the people consume and if a law punishes the consume the people will keep use it, is a lifestyle for them.

Nevertheless, I don’t think the experiments with marijuana can leads to experiment with harder drugs, because other drugs are different, the components are different and it means other drugs doesn´t have something useful for testing in animals or us.

Finally, is hard to think all the crimes and assaults are related with drugs in our country, I think is more complex and the crimes will not stop if all of us could consume any drug in the world.
