(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Paris Hilton would love to be a nursery school teacher.

The hotel heiress leads a jet-setting lifestyle, flying around the world promoting products from her various ranges, such as her perfumes and hair extensions. Although she loves the glamour her lifestyle affords her, the 29-year-old admits often yearning for a simpler existence.

She would love to have trained to work with children when she was younger, adding she often used to dream of imparting wisdom to kids. “I have basically done everything but if I wasn't in the position I am in now I would love to be a nursery school teacher because I love kids,” she is quoted as saying. “Or I would love to be a veterinarian because I love animals. That would be a dream for me.”

Paris’ love of animals is well-documented. She has admitted owning 17 dogs, with her fondness for pooches so great she even created a clothing line for them. Her California home has also housed frogs, rabbits, a parrot, a monkey and a kinkajou, while she was criticised earlier this year by PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) for buying a micro-pig.

“The Chihuahuas, ferrets, and kinkajous she’s paraded through her home in the past were not accessories, and pot-bellied pigs aren’t either,” the animal rights organisation fumed. (C) Cover Media
