Post 6: Postgraduate Studies

I want to confess something, and it’s just about this matter. I think that to do postgraduate studies is a real prospective option in my life, and I thought it several times. Well, the reason of this situation is simple: Actually, it’s very important to consider this option, because in my knowledge area (social sciences) there’s an unfortunately fierce rivalry between your workmates. So, the labour market priories and make selection of professionals who do these types of courses, because it’s an indicator that you’ve good skills and demonstrates about your specialization.

However, in my way the main reason is to reach a personal development like social scientist. Of course, I want to study subjects like sociology of religion and sociology of knowledge, because I love this issues in my career.

I would like to get an international postgraduate course, because in countries like USA, England or Germany, the postgraduate course has less time of length (master degree: one year) in comparison of Chilean postgraduate (master degree: two years), and the international postgraduates are more prestigious than local postgraduates. In addition, you can travel and have some little vacations in another country.

I would like to study a full-time course, but I hope to juggle with a work, because I need incomes if I want to fund it. The postgraduate studies are very expensive, but it's necessary! :-(
