Majors in Agriculture

First of all, I have to clarify that my career is agriculture, no forestry. So you probably don’t know very much about majors of agriculture. There are six: economy, plant pathology, animal production, agricultural production (that contemplates the production of fruit and vegetables), agribusiness and enology; and my actually major, engineering and soil. This area is very important, because includes all other. The soil is a running out resource. It needs thousands of years to development an effective soil and people are degrading very fast and without control. I like this area because teach about conservation of soil and its sustainable use unlike other majors like agricultural production (only the part of fruits), where the most important thing is to export and earn a lot of money. I think that the major that haves better chances in Chile is agribusiness and enology, but maybe this change very fast. In the last years Enology always have a lot of students so there are many people that are performing in the wine area. But soil also haves really good opportunities. Like I said, includes all other.

Inglés 4!!!!! Post 1 : A Country you'd like to visit

When I was in my senior year at school the only thing that I think was about travel abroad. Since then, every vacation could do that. Now I love to travel around Chile, but luckly was able to travel for some countries in America. I have a specially interest in the amazon rainforest, I been there four times, two times in Ecuador, two in Perú and at the last time visit the limit of Brazil and Colombia with Perú. Is awesome, actually I worked as a volunteer in ananimal rescue center in the middle of nowhere for two months. I always want to return to the jungle, but in the last year I'm thinking in going to Kenia with my father (some day). We do mountaineering and dream with climb the Mount Kilimanjaro. So, if I have the chance to choose a place to go, it was Kenia. I really want see the animals of there and maybe pass to South Africa and go on a safari in the Kruger National Park.
