The postgrade

Journalism has a lot of options to work and specialize. For the same reason, the universities have a wide range of offers for the postgraduate. Even though I've never thought about it, it's not a bad time to do it. The cultural area is one of my favorite topics, and I think in that area I could become professional. But at the same time I find myself doing political journalism, where I will need to do or specialize in investigative journalism. 

Anyway, this throws up several problems, and the biggest of all is this: any post grade is too expensive. How much is too expensive? since the journalism course of investigation directed by the great Maria Olivia Mönckeberg has a value of $ 1,444,896 for eight months of class, not counting the enrollment.

So, in addition to increasing job competition (because if you have a post-graduate or a magister you're supposed to be a better professional and that's not necessarily true), it's not affordable for a recent graduate. Well, but in the event that after graduating I have a stable job in a recognized environment where I pay well (impossible), the post degree I could choose is the one I mentioned above, where they teach you research methodologies, or the cultural media, criticism and book publishing. There obviously hehe learn everything about the parameters of editing and criticism.
education is kept in the hands of the market, where they can not access all. On the other hand, the forms of specialization do not vary much, beyond political journalism, the sports, the economic and the school of this university takes the deantera as cultural and critical specialization, which is one of the great failures of communication in the country.

I hate this semester

It is sad to think about the subject that I liked the most this year, because I have not even liked it. I've never had this in the years I've been in the university, but it is inevitable because the subjects that I have are depressing, especially radio (I hate radio). Anyway, if they made me choose the "less bad" subject that I have had this semester I would opt for Mass Culture. As classes are on Fridays at 2:30 p.m. I have to leave at 12:30 p.m. of my house, so I can wake up at 11 am and eat breakfast and be happy. First thing I like the subject jeje.
The classes consist of an exposition of the teacher (the wonderful Felipe Espinosa - equal to Oscar Wilde if he had not died young and handsome) of three hours. It sounds horrible, but it's not so bad. The topics are very interesting, explain us about communication at the mass level and how it can be manipulated. Also of what is the cultural industry and how films and bands (and everything in general) is made for sale within the framework of the capitalist economy. Cultural products become repetitions of an original and this causes them to lose value. I like the material because it is dynamic and very real because it is a thing that we can see in anyway. In the last test made us read the philosophers of life, and Marx, and Hegel and others, and I did very well lol I did not sleep last night, I like to work under pressure.

"If you study journalism you will be poor"

When I was a child all the people told me that I had to be an engineer or something like this.  I had so good marks in the school and the preparatory. All the people said me that ever, my family, my teachers, the parent's friends and really I only want to be one thing: a great journalist. Since I was a child I thinked that. I was always struck by the way of interviewing, was so interesting for my, like a dream. BUT when I said this, the people answer to me "WHAT? WHY?" I always remember when my commercial regulations’ teacher told me “If your study journalism you will be poor! You have to be a commercial engineer; you are so good for that”.

 And the true is that I liked the commercial regulations and I was so good for that, but was not mi pasion and really was boring jaja.
Anyway she was so happy when I told her that I was enrolled in the Universidad de Chile.

Journalism always was my first option cause I prefer informed that to be informed (like Garcia Marquez said), but I wanted to study other careers too. I remember that when I was so young I wanted to be a languages’ teacher.  I remember too that in a moment, a little moment of my life I wanted to be actress and astronomer (Yes, all the same time). But the love for the journalism was bigger.  

The university is so far of my house and my social environment. I have many companions that are so unpleasant, and the most of them have a lot of money (this is not a bad thing, but they are so “cuicos”). Fortunately, my bests friends are wonderful and we do all the works together  (to the rigth, Dannae and in the middle Pancho<3).    

Strangely, the people that supported me the most in my decision were my family. My mother is so proud of me and all in general. I’m the first university student in my family, and my block.  The funny thing is that they expect that I work in the TV, but I really love writing, and for the moment is the best thing that I do.
