A brief introduction of myself, why I'm here and what I´d like to achieve.
I´m Janet, born and bred in the UK and have lived in Calp for longer then the Peñon d'Ifac can remember.
About 15 years ago now, I decided to return to further education completing Access to University for over 25´s and a degree in Economics at this, the University of Alicante. I have also, almost completed a Master´s course in Applied Economics, for which I still have to formulate the final dissertation.
Why did I choose to study Economics? Well, basically I felt it was an area I knew very little about and because I wanted to know who the world "works".
Do I like it? Economics I love it, but as to how the world works, to tell you the truth, ..... not quite as much!
Why am I studying this particular course? Because it's a requisite to teach in secondary education in this, the Valencian Community of Spain, which is what I would like to do.
Why would I like to teach? The truth is I have some 30 years work experience, I am qualified, but I am also a woman and 55 years old. Unfortunately, my job applications go virtually ignored, mainly, I believe, because of my age and so I feel pursuing work in the public sector is the best option for me. Teaching, because I love the subject of economics, business, the entrepreneurial world and all that related and I think that the population lack information and education about the economy in general, something that governs a large part of our lives and so maybe I can contribute my grain of sand for youngsters to understand it a little better and be more prepared in the future for making their own decisions throughout their adult life, financially and politically.
Like a large part of the population, I embrace new technologies and would find it hard to live without them. I have a laptop computer, a tablet, and a smartphone. I use the smartphone more and more in detriment of the use of the tablet, which I don´t touch anymore and the laptop I use mainly for tasks like this one. I started using computers in 1990 when I did my first course, which then was in Msdos. I have had a computer at home since the year 2000, a tablet since approximately 2008 and my current smartphone for a year. I do not have any knowledge of programming and would classify my IT abilities as good user level. It is rare the day I do not use my smartphone for reading the press, emails, banking, and social media.
Thank you for your time.
