Why did I chose my career?

I started to get interested in Psychology around my lasts years of school. During many years, I wanted to be a doctor. I used to love science: Physics, Chemistry and Biology were subjects that I used to study with a lot of energy. I thought that it would be helpful in the future, if I wanted to be a doctor. And when I was a child, I wanted to be a veterinarian, because a used to love animals and the scientific work. But in my lasts years of school I started to have some kind of philosophical interests or more humanistic and social interests. Because of that, I didn't have too many clarity about what I was going to do with my future. My interests changed a lot. In that moment, Psychology appeared as a good option, because my intellectual interests were coherent with the kind of topics that you can study in Psychology. Besides, with this career I have the opportunity to do something meaningful with my job in the future. 

I remember that, when I applied to the to the university, Psychology was my only option. I also putted Anthropology as another option, but I knew that I really didn't wanted to study that. I also remember that I had to determine what university was going to be my priority. I decided to apply to Universidad de Chile, mainly because it was cheaper than other universities and because I thought that it was a good university.

Until now, my experience  at the university it's been great. I have learned a lot of things and I have made great friends. My experience in here has been really enriching. And, for now, I want to be a clinical psychologist. I don't know if that is what I want to do for my entire life or for a lot of years. But I know that I want to have that kind of academic training in this moment.
