Well, when I was a child I wanted to study medicine or to become an astronaut. I really liked the science and all that stuff. Suddenly, in the last period of the school, I decided to introduce myself in the humanities. So, in that moment of my life I wanted to study history or antropology, but finally I decided to become a lawyer. Why? Because of my parents' pressure. In their version, in economic terms, It was the safest career. So, I enter to the law school in "Universidad de Chile", but at my third year I was so bored. The only thing you had to do was memorizing all the codes: civil code, procedural code, etc.
So, finally, despite of my parents' opinion, I decided to leave law and start studying something relationed with the social sciences. Sociology was the best option for me, because I was really interested in what it was really happening in Chile. Social movements, health problems, educational problems, and so on.
I don't know if that decition was the best, but I think I'm really happy with my studies. I'm finishing my career and I expect to work in something interesting relationed with the social research.
Wow! Interesting story, It might be really hard to leave your career when you are in your third year... I wish you good luck in your future!
