3] He was just passing days and living from hand to mouth.
4] He was a salesman almost thirty-six years.
5] After working this many years, he should be on the senior position, but he wasn’t.
6] Furthermore, he was working on the commission basis.
7] Initially he might be making good money, but after some years he wasn’t getting that much customers.
8] During that period, he should think about other options rather than sticking with the same job.
9] First, he was an experienced person; he could go for the more stable and high paying job. Otherwise, he should try to improve his business skills.
