Where can piano take me?

[ladytoni]

I’m not sure where to post this.  I’m a newbie here and while I play piano to enjoy I also want to know what jobs I can do.  Currently I am playing Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata, two Chopin nocturnes Opus 9 Nr. 2 and Opus 62 Nr. 2, and Chopin prelude Opus 28 Nr. 1 and today I was given Granados Ochos valses poeticos. I currently live in China and my US teacher had mentioned the idea of doing workshops but that would be in English and I don’t know how that would work where I am currently.  What are some other things I can do.  My teacher here has said that I can teach for him as I did in the US but are there other options open to me?

This question definitely belongs in the student or miscellaneous forum.
The most common job piano players move to is "keyboard" player in a bar band or dinner theater orchestra.  There are extremely limited job opportunities for "classical"  only musicians.
To move up to paid work, you need to learn to play off "lead sheets" out of "fake books", and also to play by ear off CD or downloaded (ripped off) source. Another skill needed is to improvise fill accompaniment to a guitar lead or back up a singer.  
The most basic of fake books these days it the "Real fake book" originally by Berkeley school of music but now in later editions by one of the big publishing houses (with less expensive songs than the original, I hear).  
All of these skills are difficult to find teachers of.  I have been unable to find a teacher of this sort of thing in my metropolis of 2 million.  there are some people around with the skills, but they are too busy to be bothered with low pay teaching arrangements.  And they definitely cannot be bothered with a wooden piano, when a 60 key plastic toy with rubber keyswitches is the instrument of choice these days.  
A secondary market in the west primarily, is the church musician in the Christian churches.  Most of these are increasingly moving to guitar bands instead of piano accompanyment of old fashioned "hymns", so these jobs are rather difficult to come by these days, also.  In a non-Christian country, I would imagine these jobs would be even more rare.  
And as you say, there is teaching, where classical repretoire such as that sold by pianostreet.com is still fashionable.
