Post-graduate studies

Think about the post graduate studies is something so far away, I mean I am in the freshman year and I still have a few years left to have my major in biochemistry (Although the people say that the years fly by).
In the future I want to take a Ph.D. degree in biochemistry, why? Well if you don´t know I would like work in something related with the investigation, and a Ph.D. degree is perfect for that.
I would like studies out of the country, but if something prevent me, the University of Chile offers a Ph.D. program in biochemistry and looks very nice, it could be a very good option.
About the program: The Ph.D. in biochemistry was created in 1978 and has formed 124 doctors. The purpose of the program it is the training of researchers of the highest level, able to direct and carry out in an autonomous way, original research whose results constitute a substantial contribution to the scientific or technological knowledge in this discipline. These researchers must be able to perform in the various fields of biochemistry, so that they become effective drivers of the development of scientific research in its basic aspects and technological applications, in order to contribute to the development and culture of the country.
Some lines of investigation are toxicology, molecular biology, neuroscience, among many others.

Why did you choose your career?

Throughout primary school, my dream of job was be a doctor, I wanted help the people, but it was not until high school that I realized I was not made for be a doctor. In the high school I met the chemistry and biology, from that moment I decided when I finish the school I was going to study Chemistry. My decision it was firm, but in the moment of applying to universities I change my decision, what I really wanted was to be a scientist dedicated to research.

Now I study Biochemistry, until the moment the career is wonderful, is another world, the classes are interesting, and I have laboratory, at school we never went because there was no time. I hope to get the title and continue studying, maybe do the doctorate, and also to work on research.
