For many students, choosing a career path can depend on how much you love it, how much money you earn and where you can work. In Mexico, students also have to consider how safe it is.
Mexico is one of the most dangerous places to be a journalist and a lawyer, with over 150 journalists killed since 1994. In today’s podcast we speak to students Frida and Renee, who both wanted to work in these fields.
Frida is in her final year studying law and Renee is halfway through a degree in Political Science and International Relations. Renee hoped to be a journalist when she was younger but was advised by her parents to rethink this. Frida will qualify as a lawyer but is reluctant to continue it as a career.
Both students talk about the political unrest there is in Mexico, and what they must consider as they join the workforce. But they also describe Mexico vividly as full of colour, traditions, amazing food and the best nightlife.
Renee’s dream is to become an Ambassador for Mexico and Frida, who opened a bakery in the pandemic, wants to make people happy with cake!
You don’t want to miss this glimpse of Mexican student life.
