Greetings dear friends of the community, it is a pleasure to be here again participating in the Weekend Engagement and among the proposed topics there was one that caught my attention and is the one I want to talk about in this publication, the topic I chose was "Making a change".
I was thinking for a brief moment what I would have changed from the education that my parents gave me and I got a quick answer, so, what I would have changed is the thought of making me believe that I should study a career that had as a priority the simple fact of making money, regardless of whether it was something I liked or not, which is why I ended up studying a career in computer science in college, which at first was not what I wanted but over time luckily I ended up liking it and I am a graduate of the same.
But don't get me wrong, I really understand why they educated me that way, because it is something that they thought would serve me in the future and let's be honest, for everything in life you need money even though it is often said that it does not give you happiness, it certainly gives you many comforts and that is why I am sure that their intentions were good and it is something that ultimately I thank them for today, because thanks to it I had very good friends in college, I met many interesting people and I made good connections.
And as I mentioned above, although at first it was not the career I wanted to study at the university, the more I learned about it the more I ended up liking it, but I could say that it was only a momentary experience, but the experiences I gained have stayed with me even with the passing of the years.
The reason why I consider that I would change that, is because I am currently working in other areas that for many years before I already liked and today I am happy to work in it, as is photography, if before entering the university I had told my parents that I wanted to study something related to photography they would probably be opposed, as they did at the time with something else I wanted to study, but the twists and turns of life, is that my job is currently photography, The money I generate comes from there, I do not develop myself with the career I studied at the university, but with something that I really like and I consider that if from the beginning I had not had the teaching of my parents about studying something only for monetary reasons, perhaps I would be developed in many other artistic areas or I would be dedicated from the beginning in photography and currently I would be much better in that area, but clearly, things happened as they had to be.
I want to clarify that it is not wrong to study something that in the future will allow you a good income, but when you study something by obligation, in one way or another life starts to bore you and everything becomes more monotonous, but if you study something that you like and you can develop yourself professionally in that aspect, working does not seem like an obligation but rather something that becomes part of your life in a healthy and enjoyable way, not something enslaving. Clearly I respect those people who may consider the opposite, but I would say that, without a doubt, this is what was changed from the education my parents gave me.
Thank you very much for reading me, hope to see you next time, Happy day to all!
