POSTGRADUATE STUDIES

I’m not sure if I will do a postgraduate, mainly because it is very expensive. But, if I had the money I would like study a Master in Documentary Film. Today is transcendent to have a degree more than just the professional title, especially to find work and raise salary expectations.

The documentary film course I would love to study it because it is what I would most like to work within the working world of journalism. With this course I could learn many things that journalism career left out, because now I not feel ready to make documentaries and I would like to make many. The place where I would study this magister is in the same university, the University of Chile. In this university there are very good teachers of the subjects of the course and most classes have made me now.

About the way in which I would like to study is not presential classes, but that is impossible hahaha. For all I know , the course lasts two years and there are classes twice a week in the afternoon, rather in the night. So if I decide to study after leaving university, will be when I become a famous journalist, has a lot of money and time to dedicate to travel the world with my family doing documentaries and enjoying my work.

My Future Job

When I think in my future job I think in two possibilities, one I like more than the other hahaha. First, I imagine in a job where I work in an office, in a traditional comunication medio, like a radio o tv. the true is that I would like to work in either of those two places, I really like the radio, is dynamic and entertaining, but is very stressing. And the tv, is the same that radio, is interesting and I like so much the audiovisual medios. So, I like both alternatives for my future job, but to be enclosed in an office, working in shifts, which can be long shifts at night or in the day, this part I don't like.

The other possibility is work independently, making documentaries, traveling to find new stories and enjoy the world. BUT, this is impossible, because it takes a lot of money, time and recording equipment. And I don't have any hahaha.

So, the possibility left is work in a tradicional medio for a time, in a full time and I will get tired much, but with money :(. Then, and while working, would study a master in Documentary film. And eventually I'll see if I can become independent and do the work I like.
