I hope you are well, yesterday I was reading the initiative Did you study what you wanted? proposed by @syllem, I did not hesitate to share with you those experiences and decisions you have in one of the most important moments of your life: the career that would define your career path. Therefore, I would like to invite @yasmarit and @irenenavarroart to participate as well.

When I was in the last year of high school, we did a psychological test to guide us to that career in order to us, some were clear about what they wanted both the career and the best work of one, while others did not know where to go, among those entered me, although I had the certainty that a career in engineering or medicine would not be, even so, my aunt kept insisting on the latter by the average I had, but it was not my thing. For many of my relatives, they believed that I would be inclined in veterinary medicine, because of my love for animals, as a child if I had those thoughts, but, after knowing that I had to stick my hand in a cow and all that, ah I took away the desire. 😂

Later I wanted something focused on graphic design, something like that, however, the public universities in my city did not have a design career and my family did not have the resources to pay for a private one, and the university that offered integral design was in another state, about 2 to 3 hours away; although I had transportation it was quite a distance. The psychologist, upon seeing my situation, recommended other careers, such as marketing, and I also came across the Bachelor of Fine Arts.

At that time, it did not call my attention at all, but as I had to put 3 options in the OPSU, which is the census system that helps to enter a career without going through an admission test or something like that, I ended up adding that as a second option, the first one was the integral design and another one. In the end, I selected the Plastic Arts, because with the other one I didn't know what to do because I had to take a census test.
That disappointed me, but my mom advised me to study at least 1 semester in the Art program, so as not to lose the quota, since it is difficult to get it, and then if I did not like it, I would freeze it. I decided to study it completely, because I ended up liking it and, thank goodness, because with the many strikes and the guarimbas, it would have been difficult for me in another state (adding that I had no way to pay for a residence).

To my surprise and, as fate would have it, my cousin has been teaching me things about design and I am currently working on it; since practicing my career in the city, or in the country in general, is very difficult and has little field, the best thing about this is that in the Bachelor's degree they also give subjects of design and those things, because beyond the pure arts, it is subjects related to the audiovisual (if the career is not well oriented and should not be called so), so it gave me the basis to do what I wanted (despite everything if I would like to exercise a field in the Museums). Later if I would also like to do a course or diploma in design or professional videos, although with the work and be aware of my mom, it is complicated with the costs, but surely I will be given the opportunity, while continuing to learn.
