[quote=\"bebebub\"]My dd says she wants to be a jockey. She loves to read story books that feature horses. I can predict that this is not unlikely to happen cos I know she will not want to clean the horse poo - that's part of the job description of a trainee/apprentice, isn't it?

I thought they hire syces to groom the horses.

Why a jockey? How about an Olympic Equestrian? Dressage or showjumping is fun.

haha, I also dunno. Think due to limited vocab, she just say \"jockey\" lah. Don't think she really know about being paid to win races. Thanks, I go introduce the term \" Olympic Equestrian\" to her.[/quote]How old is your dd? Has she gone riding? It's fun.

She's turning 9 in 2 months' time. Did riding for fun only. Nothing serious. What I did not tell her is her parents don't have deep pockets to fund her interest/ambition :sad:

We lived overseas for a couple of years. Our neighbor across the road keeps a couple of horses and we often see these horses trotting/galloping in the grounds, especially during the spring/summer months. DD \"watched\" a foal grow into a young horse during our stay there.

So lucky! But I wonder how expensive that CCA would be.

perhaps we should ask ourselves what are the jobs available for our kids in 15-20 yrs from now (assuming we are talking about kids still in pri sch now)…


- manufacturing/factories slowly moving out
- R&D/hotel/service/IR/banking/medical/gov jobs should still be around
