Just for sharing, one of my DD's friend joined an orchestra overseas and is now stationed/performing overseas. There is still a pathway in performing or fine arts, etc.

Art is gaining popularity as an asset class, so there will also be (more) opportunities in the industry over time.

Our kids generation is luckier than us in that they have less pressure to quickly find work to support the parents or ease the family's financial burden. They also have more options.

Note

In the event of a lock down in a country, this artist cannot travel overseas

It is the same for other industries which require overseas travelling?

Crying the whole lunch time because from what happened here - I can see myself when I was small and those suffering which have taken for those years. Hope this will not happen to any kids anymore.

Lnw, you may be at a little more fragile state right now? Or you want to share those sufferings when small that still strongly impact you now ?

Always have a feeling this dd seems to be leaning more towards Arts side but as of now nothing being at developed/development side due to my 'neglect'.

It is OK, forget it.

On what happened when young and in a way shaped/impact our thinking, behaviours etc…as I have no parents by my side most time in my growing up years. I find myself very ignorant de.


On academics, I never know I need this A in order to achieve B in a easier way for eg. I only know when there is exam I need to study for it. What CCA I wouldn’t really know but somehow I remember joining UG with my friends. Very little almost none tuition. My parent will provide money and I can go tuition if I want to but I just don’t see the needs/importance of it.

I have no direction provided by adults. Many years later to now, I find it impossible to work on time table/schedule (except classroom time table). I am also unable to teach my kids on following what time do what etc. All free range style of growing up. It was because I know you all mommies that now I have some emphasis on my kids studies…else all free range, kampong style…everywhere, anything type. Our gen can survive coz during our time not that big proportion of people with degree. Now is different.

So if you ask me if I am happy with no limitations imposed…yes I m happy. But I think I would be happier to know why I m doing this instead of that, have some guidance from someone who know more than myself.
