Hello everyone! I think it is very necessary to do a postgraduate degree once you graduate from university due to 2 main reasons: having a better curriculum and being a better professional. I have never thought much about my professional future as a geographer because I'm in my second year, the possibility of graduating is still very far away. But I'm motivated by the idea of ​​studying abroad, for example taking a course on the glacial environment in Norway or Sweden. Furthermore, these countries are very similar to southern Chile due to the geomorphological heritage of the last ice age. Another good option is to study in South Asia because in that area there is an important mountain block, where the highest mountains in the world are, which are: "Everest" between the border of China and Nepal, "K2" between China and Pakistan, and "Kanchenjunga" between India and Nepal. As Chile is a mountainous country, I could learn a lot about that. Of course,

Hello everyone! Today I will tell you about my future job. As I study geography I would like to work in an environmental consultancy or in a research center. I still don't know what area I'm going to specialize in, but the glacial environments catch my attention. In addition, with climate change the ice masses have been reduced considerably, which makes it a very serious problem both nationally and globally. Being a glaciologist in Chile is very interesting because the country has 80% of the glaciers in South America. I have done some research and there is a foundation called "Fundación Glaciares Chilenos" that publishes different articles, many of them related to the problems that affect glaciers such as mining activities and climate change. Being a geographer in general involves a lot of research on the outside. I have never done research on salaries because I am not interested as long as I work in what I like. But the positive is that it is a very broad profession,

I have always liked pets, specifically cats and dogs, but unfortunately I can't have one at home. When I live alone in the future I would like to have a cat called "cheese". I consider myself an animal lover, whenever I see one on the street I caress it, it's a somewhat dangerous practice because they can bite me, but there are very nice dogs and kittens. I think that as human beings we are very speciesists, because we do nothing to avoid abuse in the livestock industry, while pets have more rights than other animals. Recently I was researching some aspects of the religions of India, it's the country with the most vegetarians in the world. Most Hindus don't eat meat, even a cow has the same rights as a citizen. Buddhists don't eat meat either, they are not allowed to kill any animal or insect. But there is an even more compassionate religion, Jainism. They filter the water to avoid consuming bacteria and they also cover their mouths to avoid eating any sma
