My career, love and hate

Choosing my current career was difficult, at school I always liked numbers, I wanted to be an engineer for a long time, in my last year of high school I had a radical change and wanted to study medicine, in the end I never managed to decide which career to study. I went into baccalaureate in science and then I switched to baccalaureate in the humanities, I wanted to do everything at once, everything I liked. At the end of the first year of baccalaureate, a friend introduced me to an archaeology student and told me that anthropology allowed me to do everything, you could be a social anthropologist, health anthropologist, archaeologist, growth, coroner, and many other areas. She was telling things about the career that I really liked, so the next year I went into anthropology, when I walked in, I had doubts about what to mention the choice, but I decided on physics.



I love my career, I love bones, but it is unmotivating the little work field that exists in Chile, nobody knows the career, the specialties are scarce in the area of physical anthropology. Let us hope in the future that will change and the career will be better valued. Online classes don't help motivation, the career is very practical and studying bones through a screen is boring and complex at the same time. But all you have to do is wait...

    It's sad when the working market puts you in conflict with your vocation :c. Hope the future keeps better things for you anthropologists students. Btw I miss numbers too.

    I hope that soon we can return to face-to-face classes and you can better study your career, which really needs hands-on classes.

    It sounds like a career that covers too much, what a pity that it does not have so much work field.

    I can only imagine how difficult is to study something like your mention in online classes, it is so difficult to concentrate in this context, I hope we all can join presential classes soon :(

    Very important the contributions of anthropology to history, I hope over time will be a more valued career.

    I hope that in the future there will be more knowledge about anthropology and more validation on the part of the people.

My cat

  This time I’m going to write about my faithful companion, my cat. My cat is called Hobbes Dimitri Vladimir Vladivostok, his name is very long and powerful, but I did not choose it, so we all call them only Hobbes. He is 7 years old, the first 2 years of his life he was with my sister (she chose the long and powerful name hahaha) and then because of space problems he got to with me and never left again. It is the most tender cat that exists, it has never scratched anyone. All the mornings wake me up to open the bed and sleep next to me. He understands by his name and comes when they call him by his name, he looks like a dog instead of a cat. He is fear of moths and is very bad at fly hunting. Once he took him to the field, expecting him to play, but he only to sleep next to the woodstove. He is fear of moths, but with dogs the story is different, my dad has 3 dogs at home, they are littles and sleep with my younger sister, but in the holidays, the dogs must go to the yard, bec

Corpses and bones

In the present, I'm in the fourth year of physical anthropology, enter the career thinking that I wanted to be part of the PDI and be a forensic anthropologist, over the years, my goals changed, now I like more the bioarchaeology and working with living populations I also like it a lot. In the future, I would like to work for northern Chile, visit and participate in excavations, study of mummies typical of Chile, which are also the oldest in the world, the mummies "Chinchorro".  Archaeology also I like, it is a vital support to be able to understand the ways of life of populations that not exist today. I would like to study archaeology, so that complement physical anthropology.  When I think about work, I just imagine outdoors dig up bones and then studying them, but dig up I have to be an archaeologist,  then for now I can only think about working in the morgue or a lab with corpses and bones, what archaeologists can bring me. Working in museums would also be great. If I
