(7) PETS AND ANIMAL RIGHTS. 230

PETS AND ANIMAL RIGHTS

I am not a “doglover” or an animal lover, but I respect them a lot. They are living beings and I don’t allow the animal abuse.

I don’t have pets now but I would like to have a one. When I was a child I used to have pets in my house, for example: dogs, cats, birds, etc. I think that people, who like animals, are better people, they are more sensible!

When I was at university I had two subjects in which we did researches with rats.

In Nutrition, we only feed the rat and evaluate the result in their body, they were obviously well fed. On the other hand: Toxicology, we have to make some tests with additives and rats. I really felt bad! … However a big part of products in the pharmacology or food area, were test in animals before to be used by humans. It could be a “necessary evil” until now, I hope that it changes soon. 

 In zoos there are a lot of animals that need to be in their natural habitat, and is so unfair that they are in exhibition, I don’t like zoos, I prefer to see them, in their natural habitat.

I have been bitten by a dog but was a harmless attack, I don’t think that dogs should be banned, but in specific breed as Pitbull, people have to warn.

If I were an animal I would like to be a dolphin because is very intelligent and beautiful!!!

(6) POSTGRADUATE STUDIES.220

Postgraduate Studies

I must say that I am studying a Master now, as yet I consider that is not going to be the last one,  I would like to take a doctorate course… to do what?  Because I would like to teach at university (in the future) when I get tired of working in a factory. And it’s necesary to have a doctor degree and I might be a researcher.

I have not decided what I’m going to study and this is an issue that I have to evaluate (First I have to finish this Master!!!)

I hope to study in another continent. I’m thinking in Australia or Europe. Specially in a Europen university because the food industry is highly developed there.

Definitely the best option is studying in a partime course (whereas I work). In fact I don’t trust in distance learning, specially when is about a cientific line of investigation.

By contrast, if I don’t study another postgrade course, I have always wanted to study another career (since I was a teenager). I used to like psychology topics, and I have read some articles about that. Of course, it’s totally different from what I do. When I talk about that, people say that is a crazy idea because I'm a “number girl” but I think that is not impossible, I want to do it in the future!

(5) MY FUTURE JOB. 210

T would like to be my own boss

I’ve been working in some factories of food, and for my experience I can say that I would like to be my own boss,  and in the future I would like to have my own Alimentary Industry.

Certainly I might have a lot of work and I might work at weekends, but it is the price of being the boss! I wouldn’t mind do overtime in my own Factory.

I would like to work indoor but not in an office, I really find it bored, I prefer to be in a production area or laboratory.

 I would like to have a job in which I travel sometimes, maybe to have long meetings on a regular basis, also I might decide who is going to be hired and who is going to be fired. Is a very hard responsability to starting a business.

The salary is an important topic, I would like to earn enought money to travel and buy everything I need and support my family, and also save money for future projects.

Just now I’m doing a major in food, is a postgrade. It’s going to help me me to be independent in the future, by no means that  is the end of my academic life, then I would like to study another one or maybe a Doctorate , and also another career.
