My Ideal Job

My ideal job, in the Psychology field, it would be to help people overcome their traumas, it can be either working in a clinic or in a "field working", though this last one might mean to approach to the Social Psychology (not just the Clinical one),and helping people that feels to have fallen into the deepest hole, to go out from there so they can find the way to sort every damaging relationship out they've hade and made.

What qualities and skills are needed for this job? Well, I'd really need to be an open-minded person, an analytic skill and the willingness for listening people problems. And, of course, an authentic wish to improve this world, by making people's lives better.
I think I'd really be good at this job, because I usually think of the ways by which living together problems may be solved, and I'd love to be able for, some day, making a big national -and why not- or worldwide change, so it decreases the lots of suffering people (so they realize the clue is in them!).

At least, finding this job isn't really supposed to be difficult, or maybe a little, because the field of the Clinical Psychology is a bit full, but anyway I'm expecting I will in the future, because I'm sure I'll be capable.

My Favorite Subject

My favorite subject -and it's not really strange at all- is (General) Psychology, which it's taught by Mr. Wilson.
Why do I like it? Well..., aswering this question it's not so difficult, if that's the career I chose. Anyway, my another subjects are very interesting too (some more than others): Antropology, Psicobiology, etc., but none so much like the first one I said. But what makes Psychology better than the other subjects is the analysis that we make in people, understanding how complex people are, the reasons that might explain their behaviors, and many interesting things, and also the teacher makes a very funny class, in which we can talk about what we're studying, and he's always willing to clear our doubts up.
This semester, we've really learnt too many things, about the following topics: psychological currents, psychological investigation, the human vital cycle development, emotions, etc.

So, about the video “Do Schools Kill Creativity?”, in which Sir Ken Robinson talks us about how children’s creativity is killed by the schools (and the society at all), I just can say that I completely agree with him.
I think it's really true the fact that some children (maybe it'd be better to say "many"), who are really able, creative and smart people, are rejected because their intelligence way is not the "standard" or the "winners" one, above all by their school - but more sadly by their own parents-, and anyway by the society, because this is a system problem. In that way, many children (and after teenagers and adults), who might be amazing actors and actress, dancers, singers, composers, sculptors, painters; in short, all the ways by which someone can become an artist, finally can't carry their real vocations out because that's not "allowed" or "correct", and not "profitable" either. And after, when they must choose the career they'll study, they're said "you have to study Comercial Enginnering, Laws, Medicine, etc.", and not Theatre, Dancing, etc. But I really think those activities uplift the soul.
At least, it was a fantastic presentation.

My Ideal Future

This a topic in which I really think oftenly. In 5 years from today (2014), I'll be recently graduated of Psychology, and I'll have made that last year (2013) my professional practice, so I hope to be working, according with the area in which I'll especialize. Now, I don't know yet which area to choose, but probably I'll select between Clinical or Industrial Psychology, and because of that surely I'll be working in an hospital/psychological center or in an enterprise, but having always as main personal goal to help people for making their life quality better, because that's why I'm studying this career.
Anyway, I want to continue postgraduate studies, becaming, as time spend (why not) even a Doctor in Psychology. Well, as it's a long time until that might happen, I'll say that in 5 years in the future I want to have a very pretty girlfriend -not more than that, I'll be quite young to get marry-, and I'll be living in my current house, but plannig to buy my own car, and I won't lose the contact with my new and old friends. All that will defintively make me happy enough.
