My future job

About my ideal job, I would like a job in which I can be able to show and apply all my skills and knowledge. I can imagine myself having a job related to social interventions like working in a NGO and being able to help people. Also, I feel more comfortable having an indoors job, but I don’t have any problems if I have to do outdoors job.  About salaries, to be honest, my ideal salary would be between $700.000 and $900.000 (966 USD and 1200 USD), actually I’m not excepting to earn a lot of money like millions, but at least I want to earn what is necessary to live in peace. I don’t see myself travelling a lot in my ideal job, because I would like to work in local places; but doing travels is cool too, because I can go to work at different places.

Pandemic

Living in pandemic times is hard; people are dealing with problems such as the collapse of the Health System because of the increase of patients in hospitals. Another issue is the fact that there are people who work and risk their lives, like doctors and nurses that attend patients, or just people who can’t do online work; at the opposite, because of pandemics there are unemployment and families are trying to deal with this situation, for example there are common pots. There are problems about mental health, quarantine made people feel stressed, with anxiety, living in an environment of uncertainty; also I have to mention the amount of fake news. A lot of people had to change their habits and working modalities; for example, there are people in their homes to avoid more coronavirus cases; because of that, there are online works and online classes. Also, people travel less, unless it is for something important like buying food. To be honest, I really would like to think that pandemic
