My career

Hello, for today I'm going to talk about my career. How some people know, I study social anthropology because i want to be ethnomusicologist. For this specialization I could choose between two careers, musicology and anthropology. I like musicology but I think that with anthropology I can contribute much and learn more about others interesting topics. Like archeology and physical anthropology. And the anthropology give me more instruments for my futures scientifics studies.


For definition, anthropology is a social science and should help, for example, in the socials studies and in the socials conflictes. In the first example, the anthropology have a work duties most defined that the second example. The anthropology even today is very unknown for the general people. and this is because out of academic work duties, the anthropology don't have a work duties defined, and we can find anthropologist in differents works, like public employee, teachers, consultant's office, travel agency, etc.

For my academic instruction, the most important is dominate the qualitative method, specifically the ethnographic method, because is the most characteristic activity of anthropologist. And the method ethnographic implicate the knowledge of differents techniques like interview, focus group, participated observation, etc.

I don't have a favorite subject, but I like when I read things about folklore or popular culture. I like very much that sometimes the class produce insteresting discussion about different topics. And I think that the discussion is a very important element in the academic instruction.
