elementof_riskYou have to be joking.
No. I would make a horrible spy. I can't shoot worth a damn. I like to talk about my business and my life to people far too much. I only speak one language, and while some might be arrogant enough to think that English is enough to get you by anywhere in the world, I am fairly certain one has to be able to at least speak one other major world language to get by in the spy business. I don't understand computers, or have the know how to crack an encrypted file, or an electronic lock. I'm squeamish about trying to get people to talk and spill their secrets. In fact, the sight of blood makes me ill.
I think it's probably best if I stick to international trade. I'm a businessman, and I know that field very well. None of that danger and risk stuff. Calm, quiet, sedate. That's the life for me.
Why would anyone want anything else?
