Which occupation would you not want to pursue?

I would not want to be a salesman. In Japan, salesman is required to drink alcohol a lot with colleagues or customers for business relationship. I really hate that tradition. Are there any culture that share a own hardship in order to get along with your business partner in other country?

Not that I know of. But in my country, I think it would be money. People tend to bribe the officials to be lenient on them; it has become a tradition too. It is expected now :(

Thank you very much for your careful correction.
I still can't quite figure out when to add "a" or make it plural.
I guess I need to practice more.

You are welcome :)

You add 'a', when the noun is singular and a common noun. Salesman is singular and it's not specific person, so 'a' is used before it.

Which occupation would you not want to pursue?

I would not want to be a salesman.

In Japan, salesman isen are often required to drink alcohol a lot with colleagues or customers for business relationships.

Since you're talking about salesmen in general it should be plural
I've changed "a lot" to "often" for more natural phrasing

I really hate that tradition.

Are there any cultureoccupations that share a ownsimilar hardship in order to get along with your business partners in other countryies?

Again since this is talking in general it should be plural rather than singular

Not sure quite what you meant by culture here, so I've changed it to "occupation" (職業)

I think you wanted to ask about similar hardships rather than "own"

Feedback

I don't drink alcohol very much so I wouldn't enjoy this kind of business culture
