Britney Spears: 'I'd be a teacher if I wasn't a pop star'

Britney Spears claims she would be a teacher if she wasn’t a pop star.

The 29-year-old singer says she would teach children to read and specialise in history.

Asked what job she would have wanted if her music career hadn’t taken off, she said: “I’d probably be a teacher. I love kids and, even in what I do now, one of my favourite parts of my day is getting to meet my fans before the show - especially the little ones - they are always so cute.”

Quizzed about what her areas of expertise would be, she said: “I’d specialise in reading and history”, adding that her favourite historical period is the 1920s.

Spears, a mother-of-two, opened up about her life during an interview with a music website.

The Toxic singer said her sons, five-year-old Sean Preston and four-year-old Jayden James, are her top priority - but if either of them wanted a pop career she wouldn’t hold them back.

“I’d definitely keep an eye on them, but if that’s what they wanted to do then I’d let them go after it. I’d just be very protective,” she said.
