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.
From all the many areas I could work in, I always 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
haha that joke was fun, good! I'm happy for you because you love what you do and that's so cool. I hope in future I was as happy as you are :)
ResponderBorrarWell that he is doing what he likes, hopefully we can all in the future play in what makes us happy!
ResponderBorrarChallenges are always a good way to have fun! i hope that, just like you, could be as happy as you. Also, nice joke ;)
ResponderBorrarhahahahah nice joke! and i always said that you have to do what make you happy! you have to follow your drams and travel doing the think that you like! teach!
ResponderBorrarhabe a nice day!
If I were you I would definitly got to Neteherlands, hope you keep on enjoying being a teachers for many more years!
ResponderBorrarJajaja, a good joke. Netherlands and Switzerland, both sounds grate, and have beautiful landscapes. I personally would choose Switzerland, 'cause have many mountains to visit, and also speak french.
ResponderBorrarI think that I happen the same situacion that you and I understand that one always must to try live all possible experience for, like you, choose the best decision.
ResponderBorrarI hope that you can do you PHD
Regards!
It is good that you achieve what you wanted before studying. If you want to do a PHD now, go for it.
ResponderBorrarP.s nice joke haha
It's very inspiring to know that someone I know has his dreams come true. If you ask me, I recomended that you travel to Switzerland. Have you seen photos of that place? It's amazing.
ResponderBorrarAfter all a stressing job is a way to get to do something different everyday. I have worked twice as a journalist and when I did it in a journal it was so funny because everyday was like a little adventure. But when I worked in an enterprise office the week was really bored, everyday exactly the same things, except for some situations where everything turned out to be fun.
ResponderBorrarWe have similar parameters to chose a job. I preffer to work outdoor than indoor too, and also I would like to job with people around me, and make deep changes in the society.
ResponderBorrarAbout the british joke, I'm not sure that I've understood, haha.
I like Linguistics and I would like to study them. One of my goals is learn Greek, Latin and German. I think work outdoor is the best option because you can travel around many countries.
ResponderBorrarI also love teaching, maybe in other direction but I do understand the need and the urge to make a change. Wish you luck on your future studies
ResponderBorrarI hope you can continues your studies, and you can travel the world (and maybe another worlds) and know a lot of strange people.
ResponderBorrarYou are a good teacher, and I think you love your job. Keep moving, teacher! The world never stop.
