I studied English Linguistics, and I always thought "what would my future job be?". And here I am!!

I studied English Linguistics, and I always thought "what would my future job be?". And here I am!!
I always wanted to have a fun, light, easy going and not too hard to do job, but always wanted to be with people.
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 good 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 the former, which leads me to think it was the right choice.
I tried working in an office once, in a job that was not as stressful as a teacher's job 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 on 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 them British"...LOL
I want to travel and see the world someday too :) and knowing that you've done it, gives me hope that I can do it someday. Also, I'm happy that there are still people who love teaching, that's awesome!
ResponderBorrarPS: Even if your joke is true, I wanna go to England :(
I share the desire to travel the world. I want to travel and live in many countries to learn from different realities. It's great you want to keep studying and to grow as a teacher. I also find really good you prefer a stressful job but you're passionate about.
ResponderBorrarGreetings! :)
I want to teach too! But I don't want to do it at any school, I think to do it at the university (as you do with us haha). How many countries do you know? Wich? I feel anxiety to travel too!
ResponderBorrarSee you!
I really admire the teachers that work for produce a social change. I think that this is the true spirit of the profession, and that's why I maybe will be a teacher in the future
ResponderBorrarIt's great that you still studying. I think that one should never stop his knowledge.
ResponderBorrarBy the way I'm agree with your position of working always with people near because the relation with another one make us grow.

ResponderBorrarwe can make a social change, I decided to study film for that reason, the important thing is to take the decision, it is necessary follow our passions, it makes you happy
ResponderBorrarit's great to know that some people like you that work in order to generate changes and no just for money, there's no much people like this. I admire you and I wish you the best in your plan of continue studying :)
ResponderBorrarI'd like to travel around the world one day, especially to countries where they speak english. Besides I think it's really great that you are so passionate about your work because there're so much people who don't their job with passion.
ResponderBorrarit´s great that you think like that. Maybe more people should think like that, the life it would become more easy.
ResponderBorrarI think that the work that offers a reward is the best, so I really admire your decision to go back to your teacher's job. It is demonstrated your passion.
ResponderBorrarI hope you continue the plan of your studies in these countries!
I really admire the people that work with a great purpose. "If you can dream it, you can do it". I'd like to travel for my country and then travel the world!
ResponderBorrarI admire the teachers, because they must have a lot of vocation to teach to change the world, and not just to earn money. Now that you say that you want to continue studying, is even more admirable.
ResponderBorrarBest wishes!
Hey teacher, I think England it's one of the most amazing country in the world. I had been there once, and I think people there it's very kind and open to another cultures, against what we use to think. So, if you have the chance to go there, don't think it twice.
ResponderBorrarCheers!
I love travel and meet different cultures, I could say that´s one of the good things of the globalization :)
ResponderBorrarMy mother is also a teacher, so I know what that means, I really admire you. You have nice dreams and I hope you achieve all of them!!!
ResponderBorrarSee you :)
I laughed a lot at the British joke! That is so true! All the british people that I've ever met only speak english. Foreigners from english speaking countries usually only know one language (no offense)
ResponderBorrarAnyway, I would also like to travel abroad and keep studying somethins in the audiovisual field.
see ya!
You said "but always wanted to be with people", that is admirable. I would like work with people and see te world too!
ResponderBorrarSee you :)

ResponderBorrarTeacher, i share your idea of traveling and see the world. I think is necessary open our minds and know other cultures to have a more complete vission of world. Sincerly i hope that your plans and wishes to take a PHD abroad are successful.
ResponderBorrarGreeting
is great that you want to continue studying and travel to other countries, that's one of my dreams too, but first i have to learn to speak english hahahaha
ResponderBorrarPD: I forgot to comment your blog post last week, I'm sorry!
BorrarReally you like this job! Nice touch the British joke, it's a good reason to study in Netherlands or Switzerland
ResponderBorrarI sincerely appreciate your decision. Currently choose to be a teacher is a risky decision because it isn't considered all the effort that needs to be done in planning classes (which is not considered) and that the payment is not the same as another work of equal effort.
