Difficulty reading I will confess a sin: do not like reading books!! With the exception of books in the area of ​​information technology, I am interested in other types of reading. As a child I loved to devour books, fiction, non-fiction, autobiographies, and many others, but unfortunately, I can no longer have this hobby ... I confess that with the advent of IT and especially Internet, I read a lot more practical matters of sites specialize in specific subjects, but also I'm not reading pages and pages of the same subject ... In college, I confess that I felt no pleasure in reading books and monographs particularly extensive, to be able to develop my work completion. I'm even ashamed to say, but I'm more "lazy" for reading!!

Demands of the professional world Increasingly, companies are demanding requirements of professionals, who often are not even necessary for the efficient performance of its functions. When did college and researching about the job market, have confirmed that besides the college, also required a graduate degree in the area they would act. Well, did the college, spliced ​​a graduate degree in the area I wanted to work, however, like my surprise when looking for jobs that fit with my profile? There was also the requirement, in some instances, a second fluent language. The English, I confess, it is a requirement old, but already found several jobs that required beyond fluency in this language, advanced level in two or three languages​​. In addition to the higher level, post-graduate, second language, have found several jobs requiring specific courses and second courses. Honestly, since it is difficult to specialize in a particular niche, imagine two? As I said earlier, I am trained in informatics and to whom is the area knows how hard it is, for example, for a professional programming learn 2 languages ​​at advanced level. I've seen several "vague absurd", which required knowledge of several programming languages​​, and knowledge of web design, database, data security and networks. Anyway, the person would have to abandon his personal life, sleeping only four hours a day and have no time available to spend studying to earn a wage, say, totally at odds with the requirements. It is as if to dismiss an entire department to replace just by one person. What are doing with IT professionals is the same as requiring a doctor specializing in cardiology, neurology, dermatology, urology and gastroenterology, for example. It disgusts me too!!

Upper-level courses online I have read many stories about upper-level courses and have since grown a lot to offer courses online. There are many advantages to this type of education: you manage your time, studying at the time you find convenient, need not face the chaotic traffic of big cities, it reduces stress and lowers costs mainly with the course. But of course, there are disadvantages: you need to be very disciplined, organized and determined to achieve learning, since this type of course, even providing tutors, online chat and clarifications by e-mail, which requires you to become self-taught. Still aim a disadvantage in this type of course: the lack of personal contact with people, such as teachers, students, and finally, I miss chatting with people from school, since computer, becomes a very cold environment. I'm currently doing an MBA online, only attending college to make the evidence and present the work to completion.

Valentine's Day The next day June 12, Wednesday, here in Brazil, we will celebrate Valentine's Day. I'm in doubt about the biggest gift that I give to my boyfriend, since he does a stripped-down style and chic at the same time. He loves high-tech novelties, but I'm not in a financial position to afford an expensive gift. Probably give you a sapatênis, since it is a useful gift suits his style and not expensive. Of course we also hope to win something really cool! I love being presented with clothes, shoes, bags, earrings, rings, watches ... How to live in distant cities, we only have time to see each other on weekends. I will update on the internet about the movies that are playing in the theaters, but a Brazilian comedy, which seems to be pretty cool, it's called "I hate Valentine's Day." Actually, nothing better than a laugh, since rejuvenates and makes us forget the problems!
