My Job is the Past

Hi, my name’s George. I’m retired now. When I was young, I had two different jobs. After I finished university I started working as an engineer at a factory. I worked there for ten years, but I left my job because I worked with machines and I didn’t like it. Machines don’t talk. They don’t care about you, and they can sometimes be very dangerous too. I needed a better job to make me happy. I needed to see and talk to people at my job. So I went on training to become a police officer. At my new job, I met different kinds of people, bad and good. The job was more difficult and more dangerous, but I learnt to be strong. It wasn’t like my boring job at the factory. Every day something exciting happened. There was always a new story to follow and a new problem to fix. Now that I look back, I think I made the right choice.
