Changes to my study program

Imagen
I am in the second year of my degree, so it is difficult for me to know how to change my program of study. First because I lack a lot of knowledge of the subject and second because in a society where only market education predominates, it is necessary to change something more fundamental. Now if I could change the curriculum, I think that I should leave only one year of common cycle of the three mentions, since now they give more emphasis to social anthropology, besides that each mention has a lot of content to be studied and if you start before better, of course it is also ideal that students can in some courses work in an interdisciplinary way. I would like the curriculum to be more flexible, as it happens in other countries where after some basic courses, there are a variety of elective courses that complete your years of study, but according to the area of work you want for your future. Regarding the study load, I think it is fine in general, only I would evaluate some credits that

Past and future

  As a rule of life, I try not to think about time travel into the future or the past, whether it is within my lifetime or not. It seems a bit absurd to me and doesn't even make me feel good, I prefer to study it in a way that I understand the past and see possibilities in the future. However, since I must choose something, I would like to go anywhere from at least 20,000 years ago. So, I could see places with no or little human influence, I would try to go through different ecosystems (deserts, grasslands, forests, mountains, or beaches), I would take the opportunity to see the stars without artificial light and I would be very happy if I can observe this same territory where I live, but wild. I would probably stay, but I would die soon because I don't have all the necessary knowledge and I would need others. If I were to go to the future, I would not know exactly when, it could be when our species becomes extinct to see the moment. Or in the epoch when stars or black ho

My dream Job

  For me, work is a means to an end, never an end in itself, but that doesn't mean that my future job has to be in a field I don't like. That's why I was looking for a career that would allow me to combine most of my interests. That's why I feel that physical anthropology can bring together knowledge from the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities. I don't care if I end up as a researcher, professor, in a lab, in the public or private sector, but with the premise that I work to live and don't live to work. There are many skills that I still do not have and that I need for that future job, I do feel that my personality can help me a lot, I am disciplined, orderly, methodical and I like stress. But there are skills that I need to improve, and I have not done it, such as improving my English, writing better, computer skills, as well as the knowledge of the discipline itself, especially related to the hard sciences that are used for working methods an
