Blog 5: My Future Job

 Hi everyone! Today the theme is My Future Job, and in the last blog I told you some of what I want to study when I finish my career, explaining a little bit about what I want to do in the future. 

Well, if you remember, I said that I'm now in my 4th grade of Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and  I like Educational Psychology especially in scholar coexistence, and that’s my future job. Now I'm not very clear if I specifically do my job in scholar coexistence, but I really really want to work in schools. I would like to work with groups of teenagers and pre-adolescents, teaching about mental health, about how to improve their skills and strengthen their autoestime. Mental health is a topic that i really want to toke someday, because i have mental illness, i have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and major depressive disorder (MDD), so the scholarship to me was really difficult, especially because i have a lot of problems to focus and study, a lot of times i forget to deliver a homework, i forget when are the test, and that had influence in my marks and my performance not only in school but also in university. I noticed I had this mental illness when I was an adult so, I think if we have preventive treatments and programs to improve the mental health of preadolescents and teenagers we would help and strengthen their confidence and skills.

I want to work in schools so I think that is outdoor? 

About the salary, for a Educational psychologist in Chile the payment is about 800.000 Chilean pesos, and that does not grow up to much with making another major grades or post grades, so sometimes i feel bad because i feel that the payment wasn’t enough

And that's all! take care of yourself and of your mental health!

See you next time
