My student's life
is next to achieve the minimum to survive on this world: I'm going to
be an
engineer next year. Nowadays I'm finishing my credits this semester and a
plan for my future is
needed, and I have it but it may be an amazing dream, but
there it go.
After completing all
the credits my life should be focused on two things, in professional talking:
my thesis and a job. My thesis should be
accomplished in six months or very close, getting me
graduated for a month or
two before a year passed after I wrote this. But the work is a very
different
an interesting story.
When I talked with my
friends whose have being searching for one, or already got it, I learned
that for many jobs, a period should be passed for getting, for real, the job. Working life, in
engineering, apparently is very different of what I expected in terms of
acquire a place
somewhere: a test or more that will point for some area in no
longer than two months.
However,
I have
assisted to some conferences and with the dialogues with my friends, I learned
that real
jobs aren't achievable in less than a year, so I thought: Uhh, those are bad news.
Those are bad news
because I do want to do a Master Degree and more, but the Master
Degree I had
planned to start it in two years or less, imagine how difficult it may be
if continue
working, very possible outside Mexico City and studying on the U.N.A.M.
or if had the chance to
study it in another country, even more. To do that, I
would have to be working somewhere very
close to the studies center or
vice versa.
But what kind of job?
My interest for many things made me thing that many areas will fulfill my
necessity about working:
Designing mechanical
systems, materials and phenomena
investigation,
controlling processes...
So with that my real
plan is this: I want to get a job and stay there for two, maximum three years,
and ask for a permission for studies, or if it's necessary I would quit, for
studying my Master
Degree and maybe the PhD immediately after that and maybe later get a consultant job . But
why is the studies so important for me?
Well, I'm hardly
someone that like to do the same every day, I need to ignore my duties one or
two days, weekends out of account, or maybe more to be happy: But if that
weren't enough, I
like so many things which ones get me distracted or I want or
need to learn so I have to do it.
Sadly, these days it's unaffordable to
me, but after I started working for real I will have money
and time for that.
And it's almost an obligation to myself because my passions have been
almost always kept somewhere I could have them on control and not being
distracted by them,
but they will see the light, it's a promise.
Due to many things I
want to do, it's very important to get me time, and that comes when you
don't
have obligations for someone else. So the idea is to become a really
surprisingly skilled
engineer but, who really do engineering, for me that means
pulling of darkness secrets of
nature, developing new techniques, inventing and
more. The key point is to do that somehow I
could be the owner of the patent,
so I may sell the rights on its totality or partially or not selling
them at all, and what means
that? Money.
But what you do with
money? Well, I'm sure "spend it" may cross some minds when they
hear
this question. But the intelligent answer is invest it. Why? Because it may grow and more
you
have more things you will able to do. You will get more money to expand
your investments or to
create your own company (which is also investing).
But don't forget that money is not everything
or the most important in the world,
inclusive if the actions done because its possession made
you happy.
Happiness should be
ours true goal. I want the money to learn many things with theoretical and
practical methods, but it's
more important to meet the most possible thing and see if my real
happiness is
with something I met before or something unknown for me on these days, I'm not
talking about love, but it
may appear in the way or could
be close to me right
now, I'm talking
about activities that make me feel realized. Knowing that,
money would be only important for
buying the necessary for me, and my family if
get one.
