Before I became a tour guide, I used to work at a motor company as a car salesman. For a while, I enjoyed the job and worked hard. I had to sell at least ten cars a month. It was so stressful that my health went bad. I had to be in the hospital for a couple of weeks. Then I made up my mind to change my job. Now I'm very happy with my job as a tour guide.
