Jinri Park is training as waitress in Sydney to save up money for further studies

As she starts her married life in Sydney, Australia, Jinri Park shared that she now has a new job: training as a waitress in a restaurant!

In an Instagram post on Sunday, Jinri revealed that she didn't know what she wanted to do when she moved to Australia after she married John.

She can say that her 20s were spent well and she lived her life to the fullest, but now that she's in her 30s, her "life has changed 180."

"I felt like I was back to zero, with not knowing what career path I’d want to take," Jinri said. "I didn’t feel like I fit in that glamorous life of being a model anymore, and wanted to move past it to something I would grow into. Maybe even spend the rest of my life doing."

After much discernment and discussion with family, she shared that she has finally decided what she wanted to be — although she'd not revealing just yet what it is.

"So for now, I need to earn my tuition fee to get a degree for that job I want in the future(tuition fees for international students are extremely expensive here!!!)," she shared.

Since she graduated with a degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management and worked as a maitre d at Makati bistro Your Local for a year, she decided to work and earn as a trainee and waitress in a restaurant.

My 30s: A turning point in my life If I had to describe my 20s in a word it would be glamour. From all the fun times I had during my college days, just drinking and clubbing with my friends to becoming a radio jock, model, actress and host, it’s definitely been exciting. I had the opportunity to be infront of the mic and camera, having people doll me up and living very comfortably. Not saying that it was all fun, I had my fair share of being a newbie in the industry, heartbreaks, hardships etc(just as everyone else). But When I look back now, I can definitely say I lived my life to the fullest. Now that I’m in my 30s, life has changed 180! I got married, moved to Australia, and now...got a job! For this past week I worked as a trainee for a restaurant being a waitress (I did graduate with a degree in HRM and worked also at Your Local for about a year as a Maitre d). Honestly when I moved to Sydney I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I felt like I was back to zero, with not knowing what career path I’d want to take. I didn’t feel like I fit in that glamorous life of being a model anymore, and wanted to move past it to something I would grow into. Maybe even spend the rest of my life doing. After months of thinking and discussing with family, I got to choose something I thought would be a good match for my strengths and personality. I can’t tell you right now but will definitely update everyone once it starts! So for now, I need to earn my tuition fee to get a degree for that job I want in the future(tuition fees for international students are extremely expensive here!!!). I’ve already met some awesome pinoy guests at the restaurant I work in and I was delighted how nice they were! If you ever meet me don’t be shy! It’s creepier if you just stare hahaha Looking forward to my new start,taking responsibility for my future. These are exciting times, it’s never too late to start again. Don’t ever be afraid to do something new, to start from the bottom and build your way up again. Thank you to my followers who have been supportive even after I got married, moved to Australia and don’t work as a sexy model hahaha I love you guys! Have the courage to start!??
