Post Graduate Studies.

There are many things I could do to specialize. For example, I think of courses that teach new research methodologies associated with social networks, the internet and big data. I would like these topics because it is the path I am following in sociology, and I think it has a lot of potential.

Now, to study this kind of things at least here in Chile or in Latin America is not very fruitful. I know that in England and the United States it is where the courses are more complete. However, the implications of going to study are several: money, time, change of plans, family, etc. It is a decision that has to be well thought out.

In this sense, I believe that distance courses are a good tool but living the experience of traveling to another place and studying right there can be more enriching. In addition, I think that the constant of having to travel to other countries gives a lot to think about the academic offer that our country and the other countries of the continent provide for their professionals. How to think about development if we do not invest in science? (for example, the problems with CONICYT).

Anyway you have to be honest, there are courses here in Chile and programs at universities that provide tools in regards to the new research methodologies associated with big data, perhaps to begin with they are a good tool (but as long as there is money , let's not forget that in Chile studying is very expensive).
