What´s the best major in El Salvador?

Which is the best career to study in El Salvador?

Are you ready to decide?

Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog, again. In this opportunity I am going to write some ideas about “life plans”, specifically about what’s the best career for you or for me?

Well, in my own opinion, we must think about which fields are the best match for us. I mean, we must check all the activities we like to do. For example: if you love write songs, your field would be Arts; if you like to repair furniture, the field is craft; if you prefer manage a department of a large business corporation, you must be a businessman; and if you like to help couples with marriage problems, you are going to be a social work. Also, we have to think if we want to enjoy our work or if we want to get a lot of money.

But, there are some other things, such as: our own physical and mental capacity, the family, culture, economic position, religion, and so on, in which we must think, too.  Of course, everybody knows that the career you choose as the best one, probably it will be the worst one for another person. Let’s see a very common example in the real life:

“My cousin, George Jr., wanted to fly a big airplane; I mean he wanted to study to become a pilot. But my uncle George, who is a pretty good taxi driver, thought that career was too much dangerous for Jr. and also they didn’t have enough money. Finally, Jr. settled on social work, he is a lawyer. By the way, he is one of the best ones and also he has his own Lawyer’s buffet.”

Did you see the father’s influence on his son? As you can imagine it happens in almost of the families in El Salvador with the difference that in the rest of the families the sons or daughters don’t have the same lucky, they don’t find a good job as George Jr. did.

Finally, you and I must be honest with ourselves. Let’s say in El Salvador the best major is the ones make you get a lot of money. And this is: “Civil Mining Engineering” Why? Because they are getting $1.962.857 per each year. Even I know I’m not going to get a lot of money working as a teacher I can´t wait to teach the one I am learning.
