I think i found my career path.

[Majed]

I wanna continue on higher education in italian literature. I'm passionate about reading, writing and the italian language, therefore i think it's a perfect fit for my personality. I also want to improve myself education wise and career wise, obtaining a master's degree and a phd in italian literature. I'm very excited and grateful i get to study what i enjoy, and make a career out of it. 

I would love to become a professor of italian literature in university once i obtain my phd.

i have a degree in English literature and while i did feel passionate about it during my studies, i also found that there are some limitations in the kind of social impact you can have on the world if all you do is analyse century-year-old books and write papers about fictional characters (even if these individuals reflect social and cultural trends).

what is your take on this?

if you consider the model Ikigai (you can google that briefly if you don't know what i am talking about), you could also say that some elements aren't covered with a career in literature. the value you provide for others, and maybe the dimension of whether people are willing to pay you for what you do. of course, universities are willing to pay, but what is the higher goal of your research and teaching?

i would be really curious to hear how you feel about that:)
