I studied English Linguistics, and I always thought "what would my future job be?". And here I am!!
As a youngster I always wanted to have a job that it's fun, light, and easy to do job, but always wanted to be with people, so now I think I took the best option.
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 goog, 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 of that, which leads me to think it was the right choice because if I had selected a translation career, for instance, probably I would have already been stressed from all the stillness and little dynamism of a job behind the computer.
I tried working in an office once, in a job that was not as stressful as a teacher's job. I enjoyed it a lot at first, leaving work, going home, and not having anything else to do was somewhat rewarding 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 of 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 ‘em British"...LOL

Wow, how cool that you want to continue studying! I understand that PHD studies last 3-4 years, that's a long time.
ResponderEliminarThe linguistic area it's an amazing and interesting field of study, i hope you meet your goals
ResponderEliminarjajajaja What a curious joke, dont´t worry about it, I hope you can do it in the future!
ResponderEliminarBeing a teacher must be beautiful job
ResponderEliminarThe idea of going to Switzerland, the Netherlands or England sounds very interesting and entertaining.
ResponderEliminarWe, humans, always go back to the places where we were happy (or at least we try). I admire your job and I really hope you can achieve your goals in a near future <3

ResponderEliminarEnglish is one of those languages that go hand in hand with people who want to travel the world
I hope you achieve your dream
ResponderEliminarI think it is great that he continues to study, I hope he can achieve his goals and at the same time have a good time
ResponderEliminarI too would suffocate being in an office, i hope everything turns out well in the PHD plans.
ResponderEliminarI agree about wanting to discover the world, new people, realities and lives different from mine. I like it and it attracts me a lot (it is a good and very important reason why I chose to study journalism)
ResponderEliminarThe Netherlands and Switzerland are great countries that they admire a lot, so I hope he can do his PhD there. Good luck, teacher
Study in other countries must be fantastic, specially if you want learn other languages
ResponderEliminarI agree with the idea of continuing studying, to the point of thinking: "Will I ever stop studying?".
ResponderEliminaroh teacher, I wish very much that you can continue your studies in those fascinating countries
ResponderEliminarWhen I was young, I will think study english teacher

ResponderEliminarI am really impressed by your vocation as a teacher. I also study my career to achieve some kind of social change.
ResponderEliminarAmong my options was to be a teacher like u. Maybe I can be in the future :)
ResponderEliminarThese countries seems very interesting, but I think they are very different from each other.
ResponderEliminarBeing a teacher is a very nice profession but I couldn't be one, I don't have much patience to explain something to another person.
ResponderEliminarI'm glad you want to continue studying and growing academically. I think it's a great way of life.
ResponderEliminarI feel that being a teacher is a full time job, but you have the ability to teach someone and leave a mark on them forever.
ResponderEliminari also want to continuing my studies, is a great plan!
