EXAMPLE:
I studied English Linguistics, and I always thought "what would my future job be?". And here I am!!
I wanted to have a fun, light, easy going and not too hard to do job, but always wanted to be with people. Also, I tended to consider that from all the many areas I could work in, I  wanted something neither too-much outdoors nor indoors, furthermore I wanted something that would produce some kind of social change, a good important and deep change.
In other matters, I wanted to travel, to see the world, to meet strange people, well... strange meaning, different than me and my friends and family. With teaching languages, I have been able to do all the former, which leads me to think it was the right choice.
I tried working in an office once, in a job that was not as stressful as a teacher's job but after a year, and after missing the classrooms a lot, I decided to go back to stressful, challenging but rewarding teaching.
Nowadays, I am thinking on taking up on PHD studies in the field of Applied Linguistics, I would like to do it either in the Netherlands, Switzerland and/or England.
I would like to do it in those countries, well, in the two first ones because they have a long history of successful multilingualism and because they are definitely good at languages. England on the other hand, would be my last choice, and this is because of a fact that gave birth to a joke, that is, - and please, no offense-, but the joke says: "how do you call a person who speaks only one language? […] you call them British"...LOL

    Teaching in school it is in fact a wonderful experience, but it needs so much patience and love, it is a shame that the rol of the teacher it isn't valorated that much in our country, it must be a job a lot better paid.

    Working traveling is the best, it gives another meaning to work and is more entertaining. I hope you can complete your studies and that it is not in England hahaha

    It makes me happy that people have intentions to continue their studies, it's never too late to learn.
    Netherlands, Switzerland and England make me imagine that they are very cold countries hahaha
    I could never study in those places!

    now that you mention it that have a lot of sense. the British are so proud of their first language and how is the most important in the world, that they forget the importance of the other languages

    I appreciate that you have made the decision to be a teacher again. It is difficult in Chile but the reward is to generate a change in young people
