"My ideal job"

Hello everyone! Today I’m going to talk you about my ideal job. I don’t know very well what area of Psychology I will choose but I would like to work with children and teenagers. Because I think that they are at an important stage in which they can learn different skills to be happy and change the course of their lives. Therefore, I would like to work with people in social risk because they need support and most of the time their families are disintegrated and they have lived traumatic experiences.

So I would like to work in communities or in places that receive people who have had troubles with the law as Sename because if I work in those places I could help and support to children and teenagers to have a better life in the future. Moreover, these places need to change the interventions that are using because aren’t efficient for children for leaving the crime and drug. Also I would like to realize research to understand the structural factors that are influencing the actions of these people.

The qualities and skills that I would need to do this job are: motivation, empathy, patience and imagination to be able to innovate in every difficult situation.

But when I am working in this job I could find different obstacles as low salaries and I could have frustration at don’t achieved the objectives that I imagined because I am working in an adversarial context.
