Her husband has his own company. They have time , money , good health.
If my son need me to take care of his children I think I will do it if he doesn’t need me I am very happy to I could use the time for myself.
Play the piano, create music  that is my hobby. I also like singing.
I don’t like work with numbers , reports. before the gaokao you must decide your major in university.
Finance is my father’s idea and that time I have no idea I don’t know what job I want to do….
When I entered the university every course about this major almost had level A. but I didnt spend lot of time on it so everybody say you are good at it. …. my teachers ,my classmates… think this major for me is true. So I send the CV to banks and got an offer so I am be a banker.

If I studied in music university maybe now I can open a shop to sell pianos and teach babies to play the piano and help them get many certifications about it.
I can organize the small music event / competition and I can invite my students to perform in my event.
Maybe It has more pressure than my job but the thing is I like it. If you like it you don’t feel it’s tired.
I think it is the difference between Chinese and other countries people. Chinese people often think if you change the industry it is very hard.
And we often think if you want to change your industry you must be young. It is hard to change and make other people accept it.
