I always think about my ideal job, but in a very utopian way...I've never thought about the real conditions of a job because I still don't know in what area I would like to work, or if I want to work in Chile or in other country. I think my ideal work it would be in an ONG, making investigations about different topics related with the population, and that can tell significant information, that is to say, useful information that can be used. In the other hand, I really like the practical work, that is to say, make interviews, talk to people, and make investigations using the information that people could give me. I think that the qualities that this kind of job requires are related with the research area, that is to say, I need to be a very good investigator, and in case of dealing with people it would be very useful to know how to make the right questions and how to treat people, not being so invasive.
I don't kow if I'm going to be a good anthropologist, that is something that nobody know's, but I hope and I want to be a very good one. Maybe I'm a little shy when it comes to talk and knowing other people, but with time I think that maybe it can change, and I'm always trying to improve.
I think that find this kind of ideal job is not very difficult, but I'm not sure, because I don't know how's the market of jobs. But in case of this, you always can adjust to a job, specially when you really like your career.
