China woman quits flight attendant job to sell crabs, now earns Rs 14 lakh a day

For 12 years, Xiao Chen worked in the aviation industry as a flight attendant. Today, her working day looks very different. Instead of preparing for flights and attending to passengers, she spends her time selecting crabs, packing seafood orders and coordinating deliveries in her hometown in China. Chen’s career change may seem unexpected, but it was driven by a family need. According to reports by Vietnam.vn and Sina, her mother’s crab business was growing and required additional help to manage its workload. Chen eventually decided to leave aviation and return to Ningbo, a coastal city in China’s Zhejiang province, to help the family business.What began as a move to support her mother has also given Chen an opportunity to apply her previous experience in a new setting.
