GOOD AND BAD COMPANIES

SAS is a software and analytic company. It`s a great place to work because has the biggest private capital in the world, leader in Business Analytics, founded in USA since 1934. It has more than 11000 employees around the world.

They offer software of analytic business to provide solutions to many companies for the administration, classification and integration of their information to produce knowledge that allows the resolution of difficult problems.

Among the advantages for the employees are the benefits packages, fitness programs, health care as massages and physical therapy, medical care, summer day camps for the children and a child care center. It has low stress work environment.

It has many facilities as gyms, grounds, cafeterias, two pools, as well as soccer fields, a baseball field, racquetball courts, tennis courts and others.

For me there`s a lot of bad companies. One of those is Merck, that produce some medications with harmful effects for the health and they hide this information. For example, with VIOXX  (analgesic medication) around 55000 suffered death for cardiovascular causes. The risks were evident since 2000, but 4 years later they withdraw the medication. 

For me the perfect job is doing what already we like to do, according with our personality and personal goals. In my case I chose to study Medicine, and for me that was always my dream job.
The most important reason of why I studied medicine (and how people should choose a career) is resume in just one word: VOCATION.
One of my personal experiences is when I was 8 years olds, my family and I went to the beach and we stayed in a hotel. My little sister was 1 year old. One morning, we staying at the hotel and supposed that my cousin was taking care of my sister and they were playing somewhere but our surprise was that my sister was floating in the pool, she was blue!, I staying thinking that she was death!. My father run to the pool and took my sister out. For around 5 minutes my parents did CPR (they didn`t know very well how to do it) but finally my sister survive without sequels, it really was a miracle. In that moment I felt so bad because I really wanted to help but I couldn`t (of course I was only 8 years old), in someway I felt responsible about her. Maybe that could be the first experience in my life that branded me and makes me wanted to studied medicine. Well…but not everything is that tragic…
I live near from an old-age home and when I was in college I liked to go there with a cousin to visit the aged people and maybe bring them some gifts but the most I liked is to listen their stories and experiences.
I have my grand-mother and is incredible the experiences of life that she shares with me, and at the same time I feel useful helping her improving her health not just in a biological way but also in a mental and spiritual way.
Medicine has positive and negative aspects. Among the positive aspects is that medicine is an opportunity of been useful for somebody that needs your help, you try to do the best job you can, the importance is how grateful it could be, sometimes people search for a doctor just to talk and they leave more happy if you listen them than if you just give a medicine. Medicine is science and the art of improve and preserve the health of the community.
The negative aspects are when people study Medicine with the idea of been rich, respected, to reach a social status, in this country the problem is that there`s a lot of private universities that use this career as a business, so the country will have a lot of bad professionals, it also makes a big saturation of jobs, more legal demands … the bad distribution of doctors around the country is also a problem because nobody wants to go to rural places.
Other problem in this country (and also I think the same problem in other countries) is that people look medicine as a prestigious job and they think that could reach famous, money and respect as I said and they don`t have a real vocation.
Medicine can only be a prestige career when the doctor works for the well-being of the community.
What is your opinion?

Hello! My name is Melissa Morera González, I live in Palmares.I`m in this class because I need to practice english a lot!! For me its very important because now a day we have to speak in english with people in our jobs, with friends, it can give you better opportunities of jobs for the future, can also give you more confidence. For make a specialty it can give you a better curriculum.

I hope to learn how to speak better (more naturally) and some times I forget  basic grammar english so I need to practice more. I think that the best form you can learn english is when you enjoy it.
The most I like is when we do games, complete lyric songs, sometimes doing speaches of interesting topics,  for me is very fan and can give you better relationships with the profesor and  with your classmates. I think that is very important for me to know which problems I have in english and how can I correct them to improve my skills in english.
