When I had to decide what to study, I wasn't shure at all of wich career was for me. In fact, I ended up picking Anthropology just because it was the humanist discipline with most posibilities for me to specialize in the future. But now, with two and a half years in it, I'm convinced that it was an excellent desition. In anthropology I found the theorical and methodologycal tools that will helpme to contribute to change society into a better place, by working directly with people.
This is what I want to do when I'm out of University, and I think that applaying branches of this discipline like Economyc or Polithical Anthropology to the day to day life of small groups of people we can really make a difference in the form that people (and of course our selfs as professionals) live and think about the way they live, for better.
To be a good anthropologist we have to be, in first place, very good writters, then we need to have good people habilities. But what I think is the most important is to have an open mind to understand all the ways of think, live and feel that we'll find when we start working.

My career
When I had to decide what to study, I wasn't (shure) at all of (wich) career was THE MOST APPROPRIATE for me. In fact, I ended up picking Anthropology just because it was the humanist discipline with most poSsibilities for me to specialize in the future. But now, with two and a half years in it, I'm convinced that it was an excellent (desition). In anthropology I found the theorical and methodologycal tools that will help me to contribute to change society into a better place, by working directly with people.
This is what I want to do when I'm out of University, and I think that (applaying: DO YOU MEAN APPLIED?) branches of this discipline like (Economyc: COMPARE ‘ECONOMICS /ECONOMY/ ECONOMIC/ ECONOMICAL’)) or (Polithical) Anthropology to the day to day life of small groups of people we can really make a difference in the form that people (and of course (our selfs) as professionals) live and think about the way they live, for better.
To be a good (anthropologist) we have to be, in THE first place, very good (writters), then we need to have good people (habilities). But what I think is the most important is to have an open mind to understand all the ways of (think, live and feel) that we'll find/FACE/ HAVE TO DEAL WITH when we start working.
