You are quite right in that I am a veteran of that industry: but the reason
I am not now so employed is that I saved enough money to be able to retire.
And I do comment on that industry from time to time. But enough about me.
You are employed as an unqualified teacher and as a guide to Paris. You
don't even passively have a job in IT. You seem to have a passing,
superficial, knowledge of a few concepts but that seems to be about it.

My attempt was obviously unsuccessful. Why does that surprise me?

There were several possibilities. Perhaps you considered only one.
