3. MY DREAM JOB

 Hello my dear bloggers. This time we will be writing about our dream jobs.

Before you write, try to think about the following:

• What kind of job would you like to have in the future? How do you imagine it?
• What skills will you need?
• What about the salary?
• What major are you studying / are you thinking of taking? Explain why
• Add any other related ideas.

Don't forget that you have to:

• Make comments on 3 of your classmates’ posts + a comment on your teacher's post.
• Write no less than 210 words.

It happened to be at a very early age that I wanted to do so many things. I thought I had the potential and freedom to do whatever I wanted to. I wanted to become an actress, fashion designer, spaceship pilot, architect, painter, singer, president, etc. As you can see, everything was very well connected. XD

As I started focusing on choosing one career path, I envisaged working in something related to languages. To cut a long story short, I applied to the University of Concepcion. My first year in the English and French translation programme was awful. I failed. Obviously the only one thing I learnt at school was 'open the door', 'what is this?', and comment allez-vous? With some minor variations such as 'what is this? This is a pen', or 'comment allez-vous? Comme si comme ça'. But I was determined to overcome my flaws and make it through. So, guess what. I made it.

Now I have over eight years of experience working as a teacher of English, though I am still strictly speaking, a translator, and I am finishing my TESOL certification to become a more highly qualified teacher - I hope.

In mid-term future, I would love to continue my studies (A master's degree would be great) and do some work on translation abroad. I've always pictured myself learning more languages, working abroad, somewhere in Europe either as a teacher or translator, or in an embassy, where my salary expectations get a little bit better than now, where teaching and translating are considered as an important job for the society, and where school curriculums are not created by policy makers who haven't taught a day in their life.

I am sure that one day I will be able to achieve my lifelong dream of working in an English-speaking country either as a teacher or as a translator. After all, I've been training and developing my language skills for a long time.

What about you? What's your dream job?
