Just my mother want me to be a nurse. I think they thought nurse, teacher and doctor are stable jobs. When I was a nurse, I liked to buy makeup products and I enjoy to share something which I liked to my friends and my friends told me I like a top sales. So I wanted to try a new job so I take some interview of sales. The job has stable working time, I often had to work whole night for 12 hours. There are two-days working time is 8 am to 4 pm and two days working time is 4 pm to 11 pm and two days whole night (11 pm – 8 am) and two days off.  I feel so tired and my colleagues were not friendly. I thought they didn’t like young girl. I was 20 years old. The patients were rude. The doctors, they are very arrogant. My mother wanted to marry with a doctor. If he was handsome, maybe.

Most of my classmates have been nurses until now. Few people have the courage to resign from their stable job/quit their stable job. Now, I interview some young girls. I like to choose some beautiful and smart and working hard. Most of them are 20 – 25 years old.  A sales job have a lot of chance to promote and they can earn more money.

I wanted to be a teacher in my childhood, because I thought it’s very respectable. I had a chance to take an interview for kindergarten teacher, but I was failed. As I went to a worry address, so that I missed the test. Also finally I went to a nursing school, and to be a nurse. When I was 16 years old, I taught 3 kids of my mother’s friends for mathematics. They were in Grade 1, Grade 3 and Grade 5. Teaching kids were very difficult, they have trouble concentrating and they cried a lot. I thought I wasn’t fit to be a teacher because I hadn’t so much patience with them.
