North West's current dream job is working at Starbucks despite her incredibly budding music career.
Talking with Dazed in an interview published August 24, she said, “I still wanna work. I wanna work at, like, Starbucks next year. I think I can next year ’cause I’m gonna be 14, so… I think I can.”
North West Wants 'A Regular Job'
North West said she wants to pursue a job at Starbucks.
North, who was born to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West in 2013, has a pretty simple reason for having such a normal career path in mind, as she explained, “I want to have a regular job.”
But she has no plans to set aside her musical ambitions just to pursue her career as a barista. If anything, she is against those who suggest her to push her musical career to when she is a bit older.
“It’s like, nah, this is my hobby,” she explained, “this is what I like to do, this is what I wanna do with my life.”
North West said music-making is her 'hobby' and what she wants to 'do with my life.'
This year, North has done wonders for her career as a rapper-singer. On May 1, she dropped her debut EP "N0rth4vr," and just three months later, on August 7, released the music video for her track "Aishite."
Most importantly, she made her first-ever solo music festival performance at the Lyrical Lemonade Summer Smash in June.
“I wish I’d done it earlier, though,” she said, talking about that experience. “I’ve been ready.”

North Has Been 'Into Painting Sunsets' As Well
North West said she was 'really into painting sunsets.'
While she's excited about a potential job at Starbucks in the future and passionate about her musical pursuits, North also admitted that her current field of work has put her other artistic pursuits on the back burner.
"I was really into painting sunsets," she clarified during the interview. "I paint for fun sometimes."
She added, "The paint I use always gets on my hands… like oil paints. So it’s not easy to take off."
North Also Enjoys Making Moodboards
North West confessed she still enjoys the same things that other children of her age find appropriate.
Despite having lived her life in the public eye, North confessed that she has still found time to enjoy the same things that other children of her age find appropriate.
The singer, rapper, and record producer, 13, revealed that she's big on using TikTok and Pinterest, especially because she takes genuine interest in “making mood boards for my nails and my hair.”
“I just be making it up,” North said. “I gotta draw it too, ’cause there’s nothing on Pinterest. I can’t find what I really want for real.”
