A FUTURE JOB....

Now, I will talk about some decisions that one takes in an specific moment during the university, and the implications that this may bring for the rest of our professional future. Or more than that, why one chooses that way and not another.
My first choice when I left school was entering to study Psychology, in spite of I was not very sure, I believe I do not even wanted to entering university yet; but there was pressure from all sides and in the end you choose to do what is supposedly the "right " way. I was only a year into this and finally I left. My second election was to study English Language and Literature, and I was there a couple of years, but I could not see myself teaching in the future, I'm a somewhat impatient and I think to really teach well, one must have a vocation. Then, the third and last election was entering to study Anthropology, my current career.
After,I chose Archeology, and I am very satisfied with this. I was always in doubt between taking Physical Anthropology or Archaeology, and finally I opted for the second option, but I do not dismiss may continue later in Physical Anthropology, because it appeals to me a lot too. I like research, laboratory work, extinct cultures, inferred from evidence, infer possible responses to problems proposed, research these, base on tangents evidences as the archaeological remains. 
Based upon this, I think I'd like to continue with research work, although it costs. I also pleased a lot fieldwork, is a good choice, not underpaid, but sometimes may involve a little routine that ends up depleting. While you always need to bring some discipline to do a good job, I'm not serve much for routine work (that's another of the implied reasons I chose Archaeology). Anyway, it's very nice field work and be able to make findings on archaeological sites, and then imagine all the context that must have been behind this.
I think choosing a job, I will consider aspects seem most relevant then, if I have the chance to do ... there are times you need to work on something and there is no possibility of choosing a lot.
