Since its origins capitalism has proven to be an economic model that benefits a few, generating poverty and inequality for millions.

My career choice

When I was a child I always liked Astronomy and then when I was older and bigger in school I realized that the humanities and social sciences were what I wanted to dedicate in life.

The first time I took the PSU it did not exist the career of Social work in the Universidad de Chile, so I applied to Psychology in USACH, but did not convince me, so I decided to prepare myself for another year. The other option that interested me was Political Science.

Finally when I took the PSU for the second time, Social work was reopened in U de Chile and I decided to study this.

My experience in the university is very satisfactory. I feel privileged to belong to a university that’s so important for the country and although sometimes it’s very difficult, I do not regret my choice.

I don’t see myself working in any specific area. I have more than 3 years left to enter the working world and so far I don’t have a very clear idea.
