Neither of which shows a 'working background', IMO. In fact it should have trained her on being a wife and mother.
Catherine has the honesty to admit, just like many 'ordinary' boys and girls, that she is not sure what direction she wants her career or indeed life to take. She has tried working in the buying department, (backstage job) of a major retailer, which many youngsters try.
Did any of Diana's jobs help her become a princess or a patron, clearly not. She only mixed within a very small select group (her sisters friends and friends of their friends).

Catherine has mixed, in the real world, with ordinary everyday people. As an assistant buyer, she would also have dealt with many suppliers and ordinary workers, she will have seen how to deal with many different people and situations. She would also have seen the workings of how a buying department handles such things as budgets.

As you can see, I don't think Catherine could be classed as a lazy princess, if she does become one. As for the 'enjoys shopping', don't we all? I have also seen no evidence of year round holidays, just the normal 2 or 3, couple of weeks away that most ordinary, working full time people take.
First of all she was a part time person. She only worked three days a week, unlike "Normal" person they work 7 or even 5 days a week.

Second, are you saying people who work as cleaners and teacher assistant in day cares are not a "real world" work? If that was you intention, thats offending anyone who does this kind of work, especially my mother.

Lastly, I do agree with the fact there nothing wrong in shopping, vacationing or even having a good time, but there is an extent to the point when are we going to take "Catherine" serious. If she is concerned of the duties of being a Princess or a Queen, then are we sure she is the right person for this job? (It is a job, in case everyone forgot!)
