4:48 am
decided not to accept it. she took a risk and opted for something completely new she now makes shoes for a living. hell now works with her hands rather than sharing meetings how work life has changed completely she underwent training with her such a fight schumaker the 2 of them then went into business together selling tailor made shoes. she's managed to step out of her manager role now she speaks to customers as the shoemaker. quite differently i sit on the floor in front of cable i'm not addressing them across the conference table back then i definitely wouldn't have used such a personal or friendly manner. so what to have former colleagues think of her radical career change. told insiders
4:49 am
who great decision i'd like to do the same but i can't take the risk or i can't do it for various reasons some people said she's crazy or that i didn't say anything but i'd say the majority was a little envious of me lives office but does she think many would like to leave management. she took the risk and had enough savings to carry her. around says that with her new job she now feels a lot more free. embracing change doesn't always mean doing away with the old though in bangladesh ship building is a centuries old tradition now the country is in the process of turning that no high into a high tech industry there are already some 200 large scale ship building companies in bangladesh our reporter made that so the visited both a traditional boat builder in the monic ganz district in the center of the country

and he got a taste of the modern shipbuilding scene in the port city of chittagong. when it rains in bangladesh it often rains hard and read length of sleep. but work must go on here at western marine shipyard in chittagong. the latest order was a milestone not just for the shipyard but for the country such large cargo ships have never been built here before. what went. on would let me go a long way. to go. the shipyard is so far delivered 4 of these ball carriers to an indian steel company getting this contract
4:51 am
was a big moment for the shipyard. but hopefully just the start of things to come bangladesh wants to become a key player in shipbuilding bottom of this as you know it would be 2nd largest in textile and garments that. now it's time for definitions we call it shock to shape so there i pick. the industries. he says time to start and shipbuilding has started. foot boat building is actually a centuries old tradition in bangladesh and not only by the coast. large areas of the country lie only just above sea level during the rainy season the land disappears below the water. residence simply learn to live with it but
