In his young years

[Bassim]

I am wondering if my sentences sound natural.

In his young years, Clive was a salesman. He went from door to door and pitched vacuum cleaners and other kitchen appliances.

To me, 'In his young years' means 'When he was a child'.

 

[Skrej]

I would use 'in his younger years'.

 

[teechar]

I would omit "from" in that sentence.
