The future is something that I´m very scared of, especially when I think about how I´m going to find a job that helps me to pay the bills haha. But, at the moment, I would like to work as a investigative journalist.
I think investigative journalism is one of the most adrenalinic-fueled ways to pursue a career in journalism. I love to picture myself running from place to place, talking with a lot of people an staying up until 5 in the morning writting about the 100th case of corruption that involves Sebastián Piñera.
I would also like to travel a lot, whether it is inside or outside of Chile. Lots of investigative journalists that I know live outside of their countrys because of the risks of being persecuted or imprisoned by the powerfull people that they write about. I wouldn´t mind to do that when I grow up.
Investigative journalism seems like an outdoors and indoors job because you have to get into the place or context to relly know what is happening but you also need to register all the information in a document. I think that for the most part it has to be an indoor job because writing all that kind of stuff takes hours and hours. But I don´t think you necessarily need to be at an office to write, you just need a quiet place like your bedroom and a desk.
I´m in my second year of journalism, I got into this career out of guess. I didn´t relly knew what to study when I finished school, but once I entered journalism I fell in love with it.
I still don´t know what else do I specifically need to take to specialize in investigative journalism, but I will search when it´s time to.
Investigative journalism is a very risky job, but I love risks so it`s perfect to me.
