Blog 3: My dream job

Hi everyone, today I talk about my dream job. I like to work in environmental impact assessment, but that is not my dream job, because in Chile archaeologists cannot live on scientific research. 

Make investigation in Chile is really difficult, because the provision of funds is decision from council of national monuments, specifically the Fondecyt. In one years this institution receive of hundreds of projects from excavation, from registry, etc. -including travels, mobilization, food, utensil, a place to stay, etc.-. In summary, for every one of the projects when required a lot of money (in the other countrys, in the many cases, the money is insufficient for anything that the projects requires, forcing a professional to spend their own money, but in Chile more money goes to projects than to pay they professionals), and therefore we select very few projects, for all that, to be eligible a number of criteria from quality.  

In environmental impact assessment mostly made by private institutions, the salary depend during the project and the scale of this, but in generally the pay is really good. For this reason, many archeologist work in this and on the side, finance own projects. So they can have economic stability, while they can investigate their topics of interest. In my case, I want to do the same.

Blog 4: Post-graduate studies

Imagen
In my case I considered studying Master's program, but I don't need the Master to practice a profession, because in the publics institution I just need under-regrade have permission from excavation. But I need the professional degree and not only the title. In the future when I finish my career, I like to study social anthropology, I can continue for two years in the career combining credits and have a double mention. But that mean have two undergrads, in this case it is better to have one undergrade and one post-grade. That's why I study a post-graduate in social anthropology focused on language. I would like study outside Chile in specific Spain, but in any way, I need think English, although the official language, because most investigation are in English. Although that troubles me, because even if the investigation is done in certain territories with a language in common. Researchers from other countries continue to do their investigation in English. This demonstrates...

Blog 2: The best concert ever

Imagen
My best concert ever I was in was in the winter of 2017 when Ariana Grande came to Chile. Ariana is a United States singer currently 28 years old and began her career in 2008, I knew her by the song "The Way" in collaboration with Mac Miller. She showed up at the Movistar Arena with dangerous woman tour, I saved about three months with my best friend to go together. Of the two of us, he had more expectation because I liked Ariana, but he really loved her, well he still does. From the beginning, before Ariana Grande well be presented there was a lot of expectation, because there were many influencers (I don’t remember which ones). The concert was a lot of fun, Ariana had a lot of stage presence, plus she sings beautiful, my favorite part was singing "Greedy" my favorite song of her at the time. Other good moment was when I sang "Moonlight" (my friend’s favorite song) we got emotional, the concert in general was great. To do this activity, I went back to see...

Blog 5: Changes to my study program

Imagen
Hi everyone, I really don’t have much to say about possible changes that I would like the anthropology program to have, because in 2019 was a change of curriculum. For the same reason, I cannot contribute much to the discussion, since to see the real impact, it has for the formation of the career must spend more generations.  But I do believe that changes should be made to the faculty facilities. Because, in The Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Chile has an important collection of bioanthropological and archaeological material, which comprises a universe that exceeds 2,400 boxes or containers with skeletonized and naturally mummified remains, complete and/or fragmentary, representative of pre-Hispanic and subactual populations of our nation, which have been obtained in different contexts However, the Department of Anthropology and the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Chile, currently do not have the capacity, spaces, and conditions, to host large v...
