A 31: Photo/ bare A 5/ portrait/ black and white/ conductor

When I was working at the post office in Basel I said to myself: 'this can't be it forever'. So I joined the railways and trained as a conductor. When I met my wife, I realised that this job wasn't ideal either: I didn't want to have to stay in different places day after day. Then I heard that they were looking for policemen in Zurich.
