My Career

Hello

    In this occasion, I want to talk about my career: I´m studying public administration at the Universidad de Chile since 2017, before of apply to this career I didn´t know much about this, I had only heard its named two or three times, but it had never really caught my attention. I took the decision of studying this career because I wanted to choose a career that it had a curriculum map with very different topics and the work field was wide. My motivations to go into this career was that interest me a lot development the public function to help others and make good changes for improve the quality of life of the people. I decided study Public Administration when it was time to apply to the university, among my options was studying political science, but I decided to study something more practical as public administration, my first choice of university was the Universidad de Chile, because is categorized as one of the best universities in Chile and it has a very interesting social pluralism, the second was the Universidad de Santiago de Chile and finally, the Universidad de Concepción.

    My experience so far has been quite good, I have learned several things, I have made good friends, I have been surprised with the quality of the teachers and in summary, I have had a good time in this career and university. My favorite subject until now is Political Phenomena because it´s intrinsically related to political science (a discipline that attracts a lot my attention), namely, it is about studying power, which encompasses a lot of different phenomena, I learnt concepts like politic, policy, state, executive, legislative and judicial power, among others. Finally, I want to emphasize that I have learned many things so far, but one of the most important is that teamwork is essential to achieve the objectives and that doing things with motivation and thinking about the common good when acting as a public official is vital to achieve real changes.

    Well, that's what I could briefly say about studying public administration, see you!
