If she wasn’t an international superstar, Britney Spears would be a teacher, she told British music website Popjustice:

But what else would be different about your life, what else would you have done [If you’d never released a second single after "...Baby One More Time"]?

It would probably pretty much be the same because I’m very strong in the way I raise my kids and stuff, so it would probably be pretty much the same but career-wise I’d probably be a teacher.  I love kids and even in what I do now one of my favorite parts of my day is getting to meet my fans before the show.  Especially the little ones.  They are always so cute.

Spears made about $64 million in 2010, according to Forbes.com. The average salary for an Ohio teacher in 2010-11 was $56,715, according to the Ohio Department of Education. And no way would the “It’s Britney…” intro work on the first day of school here.
