Why did you choose this career?

Hi everyone!

this week you are going to write the second post of this semester. The topic is about the reasons,motivations, etc. that made you choose the career you are studying.

write about:

  • your dream jobs when you were a child
  • other career options that you had at the moment of applying to university
  • what made you decide in the end
  • your experience at university until now
  • the kind of job you would like to have

Word count: 120 words

In my case, I first studied Translation English-French into Spanish, why did I choose that? Not sure...I was good at learning languages, and I didn't know what to study, so it seemed a good idea to study translation. I was admitted in the program, so I spent 5 years studying languages. Looking back, I think the main reason for studying that career was that I wanted to know the world, so in order to find out how people from other countries saw the world, I decided to study their languages.
When I finished the career, I worked for a while, but then I realized I needed to be surrounded by people (you know a translator just works in an office or at home, just with a cup of coffee), so I came back to the university to study English Teaching. I had a good time there, and since then, I feel happy of working with people, I have a good time!

  4. Translation sounds great, 5 years studying it makes me think that the study was very hard and specialized, is so good to know languages when you travel or you find lost tourist and you can to help them with instructions. had you anybody that inspire your? I ever think in Luca Lampariello or the Poliglot bros (yep, I read the e-mail that Babbel sent me).
