My future job (and how I discovered my path) 👔 🌅

Hello readers! Today I’m going to write about the job I want for me in the future. It’s a difficult thing to write and actually it’s kind of a long story how I got to discover the path I want to follow.

When I was in school I enjoyed some class more than others (as everyone), but I liked the most biology and math.  So I decided to study Biotechnology. I got in and I was really happy about it. The first year was very normal, with introductory classes and some basic science courses. But after the second year I realized didn’t like the jobs that biotechnologists have. It just wasn’t for me to be inside a lab my whole life. And the way it is in Chile, there’s no other field than research. I knew I had to make something about it so I decided to change.

I decided to get into Natural Renewable Resources because I think it’s a multidisciplinary career in which I can develop different skills; I want to work in a job that’s close to people.  I enjoy doing Environmental Education; I think it’s a way to change the world. I’d also like to work in some consulting firm and fight against big corporations that doesn’t care about our environment but I think it’s a  more frustrating path, because it’s hard to “swim against the current” in a country like Chile.
