like anthropologist... (or not)

Dear reader:

Continue with the idea of write a topic that teacher designate, this week, my dear reader, I’m going to talk about me and my career.

Ok, when I was 16 years old, my philosophy’s teacher invited me to a course that she did in my school, the name of this course was Philosophic anthropology. So, I liked it. I don’t know in what moment, I took an interest in this discipline, I only remember that I didn’t want to decide for a career. I mean, I was a little boy that wanted to do many things. I loved take some photography, I participated in a group of visuals artists. In some moment I thought that photography and anthropology can be mixed. Today I think that is possible.

When I was 17 years old, I knew two anthropologists that lend me some book, a book of Levi Strauss, really difficult. But I liked the topic. Structure, language and culture.

But, when I started to know the career I understood that anthropology give me some tools to develop in different areas. Anthropology can contribute the debate, for example of human right.

Also, Anthropology can help to resolve some problem in different social areas: education, health, environmental impact, really there are too many subject.

I like the subject of education and environmental impact. I think that are important areas that anthropologist can contribute to resolve some problem.

In this moment, the career isn’t interesting for me. But, the magic of university is that you can participate in different group. I’m participating in “CESCC”, (CENTRO DE ESTUDIOS SOCIALES CRíTICOS). So, the group investigates two areas, Education (investigation of “Acceso”), and Work (investigation of “Retail”). I’m in “Retail”. The idea that I want to say is that the career not necessarily give the subject that you want, but also we should be an activity student in our academic life. So you can take the areas that want to develop and participate in different group.
