Don’t quit, Britney

Published September 25, 2016

Just when you think that things can’t get weirder in showbiz, something happens that makes you think how unpredictable it is to be someone from the world of glitz and glamour.

Pop singer Britney Spears is contemplating quitting her job and doing something else. That something else is teaching, yes, you read it right, teaching. An American magazine has quoted her saying, “Sometimes I’m like, what am I doing. Like I could be a teacher.”

Don’t get startled, she is not talking about teaching mathematics or English literature. She wants to impart to the young generation what she knows best: singing and dancing. She has even posted a video on Snapchat where she’s taking a dance class.

Tell you what Britney S, if you take the teaching profession just like the way you took your singing career, then Lord help the young ones.
