‘If I weren't famous, I'd be a teacher’

In an interview with a website, the 29-year-old mother of two opens up about the career choices she might ve made if she hadn t reached international stardom at a young age."I d probably be a teacher," she tells the site. "I love kids, and even in what I do now one of my favorite parts of my day is getting to meet my fans before the show. Especially the little ones. They are always so cute.""I d specialize in reading and history," she says, adding that her favorite historical period is the 1920s.So even if "Baby One More Time" had just been a one-hit-wonder back in 1998, Spears says she d still be "raising my family [and] being a mom" today. Her sons Sean Preston, 5, and Jayden,

4, are her top priority. "I m very strong in the way I raise my kids and stuff," she says. "So [even if I weren t famous] it would probably be pretty much the same."

If either of her sons ever wants to pursue a career in the industry, she ll let them follow in her footsteps. "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," she says. "I d just be very protective."

"I wouldn t want them to go into it feeling fearful, and also nobody can really prepare you for this industry and what you experience," she says. "So I d just have to trust that they have the instincts to know what s right and wrong and help guide them along the way. I think I have the experience.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra review

Introduction Now that the Pro moniker has gone mainstream, it's Ultra that has come to represent the cream of the crop, and the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra can wear that badge proudly. Limited to its home market last year, the ultimate Mi has gone global this time around, and we're happy to have it for review today. We're torn whether it's the camera system's physical appearance that is more striking or the hardware inside. A simply massive raised area on the back looks bolted on, almost after the fact, it's hard to miss, and it's a great conversation starter even if it's not everyone's cup of tea. But its size is warranted - the main camera packs the largest sensor used on a modern-day smartphone, and next to it - two more modules unmatched in their own fields, in one way or another.
