English 4, Post 5, 'My future job'
Warm Salutations,
Prospective Biochemists, Chemists and Food Engineers and Pharmaceutical Chemists from FCQF,
This week, I am bringing to you the fifth out of eight blog sessions.
In this particular session, you will be asked to do the following class assignment:
- What kind of job would you like to have? How do you imagine it?
- Outdoors /indoors?
- Would you like to travel a lot in your job?
- What about the salary?
- Add any other related ideas.
- Make comments on 3 of your classmates’ posts + a comment on your teacher's post.
- Word Count: 210 words
I leave you a sample, as usual,
"First of all, as a manner of a beginning, I would like to say that it is difficult to choose a favourite activity that you perform, in my case, I probably have too many to choose from. If I was paid for an activity I enjoy performing, I would say it could be heaven on Earth, literally. However, I must return to reality and talk about what paid endeavour I enjoy the most doing, and in my case, it should be ‘teaching English as a Foreign Language to university students.
It is extremely difficult to say what particular bit of your job you like the most. Choosing a form of making money that makes you happy is one of the most difficult decisions a person has to make in their entire life. It is not just a matter of choosing; it is a matter of performing a job and dealing with the hardships of it without giving in during the process.
The money you make is important, however, the quantity is not that much. Money brings a great deal of help and gives you an opportunity to obtain some tools to help you thrive throughout this life. I think I’m not in this business for money. I’m here because it is fun and I rather enjoy the experience of meeting new challenges to approach new people and their struggles with the English Language.
What about you?
Best Regards
Cheers!
On the one hand, money is important, but on the other hand, you have to choose a job for vocation because it is more fun to do it and it will give you satisfaction.
ReplyDeletemoney is a great factor in a job as it affects the quality of life, and indirectly affects your work, if i have enough money to live in a decent situation i don't really care about what i am working

ReplyDeleteI would say that I don't care about money, but in a country like Chile it is impossible not to take it into account, it is so expensive that with little you can't get anything and with a lot of money you can have a decent life, I don't know if I could overlook the socio-economic factor in which I live before choosing a job for pleasure, it is unfortunate but it is the reality of many people.
ReplyDeleteI respect your vocation and dedication professor, I think it is difficult to find the dream job when one is dedicated to this area.
ReplyDeletepersonally, I have always wanted to be a teacher. I am glad that you enjoy teaching so much! I hope that in Chile it will become a more recognized and respected profession in the future.
ReplyDeletethe money is something important in these times, otherwise I would be studying to be a writer instead of chemistry and pharmacy.
ReplyDeleteThe money I want to get is to have some monetary stability and to be able to live in a quiet way, since I do not want to live in excess or with luxuries.
ReplyDeleteHis story could be an example of something I lived, when I had little time left to take the PSU, all my teachers told me to look for something that I liked above money, because according to them, there is no better thing than living from what you like to do.
ReplyDeleteI really admire your work as a teacher, especially in a country like Chile that doesn't recognize it as it should
ReplyDeleteunfortunately money is an important fact for living however I think that the vocation is more important because if you´re gonna do something you have to give your 100% on it so I'm glade that you can say that you teach for fun, personally I think that is a very hard thing to do and an important one

ReplyDeleteReading this makes me really happy! thanks for making me have faith in Chilean education
I really like the way you do the classes, although I have only been in them through the zoom platform, but even so I always find them very good, it is very nice to learn English with you as a teacher
ReplyDeleteI think it is very important that you like your work. I like the pharmacist job a lot and I can earn good money from it.
ReplyDeleteI think it is very important for the money you will earn when you finish a career, that's why I chose chemistry and pharmacy, I think that without money you can't do anything.
ReplyDeleteyou are a great teacher so i think you took the right decision. thanks
ReplyDeletethere is a Japanese concept called Ikigai which means the reason to live and says that one must find a balance between what you like to do and the salary (among other things)
ReplyDeleteAbout money in Chile its necessary increase the salary of teachers, the do a great and a very important job, thanks for teaching us
ReplyDeleteI think like you!
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see that you do this for vocation and not for money, is great to have lessons with you:)
ReplyDeleteHello, I think the same as you, despite the fact that in a certain way it's difficult not to see money in a society as consuming as Chile's.
