Why Did You Choose This Career / Course?

Hi everyone.
To start, as a little girl I dreamed of being many things. We usually imagine life much simple than it really is and we let our imagination fly. In the first instance, I wanted to be hairdresser, even I cut my hair myself (a madness). Later I wanted to be a doctor, teacher, work for Teleton, etc. Always with the focus of working for or near people.

When I grew I was being conscious of what it really means to study and

devote yourself to something for the rest of your life, so I went looking for my real interests and what options could satisfy those interests. Thus, once finished high school, I was undecided between two options: Psychology and Public Administration. At the time of know the results of the university selection test I was satisfied, because I had done well and could freely choose what I wanted to study. After thinking about it for a couple of days I decided to study Public Administration. I wanted to study this career given the possibilities I had of working for a direct change in society. This career It has a very complete and diverse student mesh, that gives us the ability to know about many areas, whether humanistic or something scientific.

My experience until now at the University has been very pleasant. I like the atmosphere that is lived between companions. I am grateful for the good friends I have managed to make, that have supported me in many moments. Initially, It was difficult to get used to Santiago and his lifestyle. Being a field person I am used to tranquility, but little by little I have been taking the pleasure of this city, although I always miss my family.  The University has required much more dedication and effort compared to the school, but that's what the process is about. I am very happy with the decision to study Public Administration at the University of Chile, the University of my dreams since I was little.

In the future I would like to work in being part of the Contraloría General de la República, because it seems to me a very important organ at a social level and interesting for my professional training. I am also interested in being part of a public service focused mainly on manage vulnerabilities and inequalities in society, such as the Ministry of Social Development, the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare, etc. To get this, I would like to continue expanding my studies with doctorates or master's degree related to the area that I am most interested. Anyway, I think that I have much time to decide yet.
