What area do you want to specialize in?

Hi friends, in this post I'm going to tell you about the major that I would like to take.

Sincerely speaking about this topic is a bit difficult for me because I can only imagine finishing the career and I haven't even considered specializing in something but if I had to imagine it, I think that my options to specialize would be the area of educational or social psychology which are the two that I like most in the present but lately has attracted much more attention educational psychology, because I think that working with children and young people is essential if we want to make a transformation in the world because it may sound like a cliché but children are the future of our country and I think that educational psychology tries to help understand and improve the problems of our educational system and how it affects our society.


 If I specialize in educational psychology I would like to do it at the University of Chile because I think it is a very complete institution and recognized for its achievements, I would also like to work and at the same time study part-time, it is necessary to add that I don't refuse to study abroad if I have the opportunity.

I think that realizing that I like educational psychology has been a process where I have been observing how the problems of society can be explained by the deficiency of our current educational system, and well, my role as an educational psychologist would be to work towards the transformation and resolution of these problems.

Thank you for reading, hugs!

    It happens to me something similar as you, I like a little bit more the educational psychology, because it's very important to improve the education in Chile and we usually can help more the children and teenagers than adults, because they are in the process to grow up and they have an open mind. And as you and many other people say, the children are our future, nice post!

WHY DID I CHOOSE PSYCHOLOGY?

Imagen
Hello Friends! When I was a child I was a very curious girl and it may sound a little funny but I wanted to be a hot dog seller. I remember that in my childhood I had many friends and I liked to hearing their problems or stories and I always tried to help them and began to hear “hey, you should be a psychologist when you grow up” but at that moment I never thought it could be one of my possibilities of life. When I was 17 years old I only liked Psychology and Law but I was not very clear what I wanted to be in my future but I thought I had more psychology skills and finally I decided for psychology at University of Chile. My experience at the University has been good but stressful. With respect to the kind of job that I would like to have, I am still not clear because there are many fields of work that I would like to know but if I had to choose I would like to work as a social psychologist.

STUDY PROGRAMME

Hello Classmates. Today I’m going to tell you about the changes that I would like to make to my study programme. First of all, I think that the psychology career curriculum is very complete and think that all the subjects that we have contribute to the training as psychologist but I must admit that before starting the university I never checked the study programme. However, I have heard that the hours of practice outside of the university are very short, more specifically we only have 2 field works during the career that lasts five years as minimum and I consider that if we work with people we must  prepare earlier to know more about the psychologist practice in real situations. It is necessary to recognize that now efforts to change the study programme are being made and this is considering the opinions of students, academics and other people. On the other hand, in this one year and half of university the use of technology has been limited, we don’t use the laboratories. We on...

MY FUTURE JOB

Hi Friends! Today I'm going to tell you about the job that I want to have in my future.  To begin, I must tell you that when I was a little girl, around age 5 my dream was to be a hot dog seller when I grew up; now this idea sounds me very crazy.  Then I wanted to be a hairdresser to help people to feel good about themselves, in that moment I realized that what I wanted was to help others and I opted to study Psychology, I loved the idea of help people with their problems and that they could feel happier in their daily lives.  Now, I imagine have a flexible time job than the offices and spend more time in different things like my family, friends, I also want to travel, time to my hobbies, among others. I don’t want to have a nine to five job or less to be stuck behind a desk; I imagine a more practical job, and of course I’d like to be my own boss. I also imagine that my future job to be a well paid to have a good living and I hope I can help my mother w...
