My ex was a guide for one of those high end companies that does tours of the French wine country.
She got the job because she was female, attractive, could speak French, could ride a bike, drive a van could talk to people and was willing to work cheap.
She couldn't fix a flat when she started, nor read a map.
By the end of her 'career"'she could fix a flat and read a map and had developed a taste for expensive French wines and chateaux
