CAREER: Teaching and Research
From small we are surrounded by teachers, parbulario in school, high school ... and I think many of us have gone through the head at some point be a teacher, for various reasons, may be you had a sensitive time for this profession, you had a favorite teacher and wanted to follow his example, so you want to be . But your life goes on, still studying in other environments such as the University and you can study a race to be a teacher or you can study a race to be anything else, but you always have the option of wanting to join the faculty of your college or the University.
For starters I will say that is very different from being a school teacher, a professor of University, not by the difference of the institution in which works, nor to belittle the teachers of the institution, which pretty much have to try to get something out of a gang of teenagers in the age of the turkey. I say that being a professor at University leads the title and an investigator, and is good to say: "I am a researcher, you have to prove and demonstrate research, researchers at the minimum required by law, and others will investigate everything to their fellows.
With this I mean, you ask yourself to enter the teaching staff of a university is hard, sacrificed and too little appreciated during the first 15 years or older, must think that to finish the degree, you have to study a master and then do your thesis for doctorate, all financiandotelo your (meaning a bundle) or getting a scholarship as a researcher at a research group, so the years it took you to get you the race, you've to add as little 5 or 6 years , when they spend 6 years, you're in no man's land, looking for scholarships and if you get them good record, you're colequen contacts in positions related to the power, this period can last about 2 or 3 years, and from here sufientes if you had guts, you are a hard worker, a dynamic, brilliant ideas, with a high English proficiency ... and all the good you see in a foreign researcher (because we have the misconception that a foreign researcher is better than the English), adapting it to a English researcher, you have chances that you hire a strong group and this is the avenue for working and studying this group competitions when you can, prepare the opposition Lecturer University, but think that at least until 40 preparartelas can not very well.
So, I admire those who want to become researchers, who want to be teachers at the university, and I say, I admire current researchers and current faculty of the University, for their selfless spirit on many occasions for their ability to sacrifice, work, their ability to adapt to rapidly changing half as the University, and many other things. But I pose two questions, one personal and one general. The personal question for research do we need to pay a high price, and when will I be rewarded?. And the other more general: whether to be a researcher you need to have personal and intellectual qualities best, then where are the wanted 30 years ago and were granted researchers and academics in a university? with this I do not put them all in the same boat, because there are some who are brilliant researchers because they have very good ideas and a great team of interns or contracted in his research group.
follow in subsequent chapters explaining other paths that can follow if you want to be a teacher after finishing college, and in this case
