Wanna be a Tourist Guide or Tour Leader
The earliest risers are tourist guides and trash collectors
The last sleepers are tourist guides and masseuses
Eating at most irregular intervals are tourist guides and beggars
Constantly worrying and fearing are tourist guides and wanted-criminals
Without overtime compensation are tourist guides and sidewalk hawkers
Speak no wrongs are tourist guides and live-broadcasters
Required immediately and urgently are tourist guides and Para-medics
Must accommodate all clients are tourist guides and sex workers

What are my chances??
