00:00:00
you go to Paris you you do as well as
00:00:02
what you can then and then is the plan
00:00:04
to retire after that or yeah like I
00:00:06
guess I you don't know yeah I think I
00:00:09
absolutely want a family and what that
00:00:13
means and I don't know it would be
00:00:15
really tough for me personally and know
00:00:17
women still do it um but I haven't done
00:00:21
that and they've had children have been
00:00:22
able to go back to their careers so I
00:00:24
guess for me that would be a really
00:00:27
challenging thing to to do is do both so
00:00:32
I don't simultaneously yeah I think that
00:00:34
would be really tricky and but yeah to
00:00:36
have a family would be awesome and
00:00:38
saying that like I don't know who I'm
00:00:40
going to be or how I'm going to feel
00:00:41
about that decision in 2 years time so
00:00:45
yeah I think it's totally down to the
00:00:47
situation down to the person um and
00:00:50
obviously you can do it so but it's
00:00:53
scary
