Post 5- My Future Job
- What kind of job would you like to have? How do you imagine it?
I studied English Linguistics, and I always thought "what would my future job be?". And here I am!!
As a youngster I always wanted to have a job that it's fun, light, and easy to do job, but always wanted to be with people, so now I think I took the best option.
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 of that, which leads me to think it was the right choice because if I had selected a translation career, for instance, probably I would have already been stressed from all the stillness and little dynamism of a job behind the computer.
I tried working in an office once, in a job that was not as stressful as a teacher's job. I enjoyed it a lot at first, leaving work, going home and not having anything else to do was somewhat rewarding 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 ‘em British"...LOL

Hey Teacher, I think it's great that you seek balance in your job, because I don't like jobs with little dynamos either.
ResponderEliminarI am mistaken and I comment in the other post, but I comment again. I think it's amazing to be able to understand the areas in which one can do their best.
ResponderEliminarI hope you are well, I am glad to read that you are working in something that you like and that makes you happy, I think there are few lucky ones who can say that. I think what I liked the most about your experience is the fact that you have been able to travel a lot, I think it is a dream for most of us to be able to combine work with the rewarding experience of travelling and seeing the world!
ResponderEliminarWhen I finish my actual studies, I would also like to do a PHD somewhere else in the world, but I would like it to be in English (language) because why not? Anyways, thanks for sharing!
ResponderEliminarI hope I can enjoy my future work as much as you describe yours.
ResponderEliminarI believe that being an English teacher is the perfect combination between the challenging and rewarding of teaching, and how great it is to be able to use the tools learned to travel
ResponderEliminarI agree that the teachers' work is very tiring but I imagine that at the same time it brings them many rewarding moments. I think it should be a much more recognized job.
ResponderEliminarHello teacher, how great about the doctoral studies in the field of linguistics
ResponderEliminarI hope that someday you can visit England or Netherland teacher! I think that you took a good option deciding to study English, because is clear that you love your job and teach people!

ResponderEliminarHi teacher, as your student I can tell that you really enjoy teaching and strive to do a good job, keep it up!
Hi teacher, I'm glad that over all the stress you enjoy your job!
ResponderEliminarHi teacher, studying linguistics and everything that has to do with languages is very good to experience new things. The doors that open in other countries are multiple.
ResponderEliminarHi teacher,
ResponderEliminarGlad to know that you made the right choice :) It shows that you're happy teaching English.
Hi teacher, I imagine that being a teacher is a challenge and very difficult, but it is a very nice profession <3
ResponderEliminarI am so glad that you are doing a job that makes you feel comfortable and at ease. I hope he can carry out his further studies in one of the first two options.
ResponderEliminarI share your thinking about travel and know new people with a different culture. I think that is the best way to learn new things and develop as person.
ResponderEliminarHi professor, I think it's very good that you want to do PHD studies in other countries, it''s clear that you want to have more knowledge and grow in your profession.
ResponderEliminarThey say that learning new languages can give you so many opportunities. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the class, even with the current difficulties.
ResponderEliminarHi teacher!, I´m happy that your major allows you to do what you like to do. I hope you can achieve all your goals and study in the country that you like.
ResponderEliminarOMG Holland, Switzerland or England are very interesting options to go to study! I hope your dreams come true soon. The work of teachers in society is very important. Thanks for your job!
ResponderEliminarI'm happy for you, teacher!
ResponderEliminarI am glad you are working on something you really like, I hope you will soon be able to pursue PHD studies, if I were you I think I would choose Switzerland, but all three are very good options.
ResponderEliminarHi teacher! Being a teacher is a bit tough, many times it involves a lot of extra work, but, as you said yourself, it's challenging but rewarding teaching :) glad you enjoy your job.

ResponderEliminarThe best thing about a teacher is the vocation.
ResponderEliminarHi teacher! I'm really glad that you enjoy teaching. I think that's the most important thing in that profession. I can imagine that it's really demanding. I dream sometimes about becoming an art techer, since I'm specializing in that area.
ResponderEliminarI believe that the work of teachers is very important and should be more recognized!
ResponderEliminarluck, hopefully you can travel there and learn more!!!
ResponderEliminarHi tecaher! It is very admirable and regrettable all the work that teachers do, although it is their passion, they should reduce their workload:(
ResponderEliminarhaha the joke about people from England I have heard many times in tiktok
ResponderEliminarI really admire the work you have done and your talent in learning languages, I wish I could have that talent.
ResponderEliminarBesides beign an english, history, math or whatever subject of a teacher, just beign a teacher makes you one of the most important people we need right now.
