Is this grammatically correct?

How would I make this sentence grammatically correct? I get confused with colons and semi-colons and shit.

""He finds a job as a porter at a hotel and continues his life in his new found interest, politics, and more specifically, socialism.""

thanks. =]

 

He finds a job as a porter, at a hotel, and continues his life in his new found interest, politics, and more specifically, socialism.

 

Thanks. I'm also looking for other ways I can word that sentence. It just sounds weird to me. I'll use your's for now.

 

"He finds a job as a porter at a hotel and continues his life in his newfound interest, socialist politics." is better

"He finds a job as a hotel porter and subsequently became interested in socialist politics" is even better

It's less awkward in the past

"He found a job as a hotel porter and subsequently became interested in socialist politics."

 

I wouldn't use the word subsequently because he discovered his interest before he got the job as a porter.. I want to portray that it was a continued interest and an ongoing thing. Basically, a new interest and job creates another chapter in his life.

I'd like to try and stick with something similar to "and more specifically, socialism." at the end.


In case it matters, I'm working on a summary of The Jungle.

 

His new job as a porter rekindled his passion for politics.

If they aren't really related try using two sentences to convey what you want to say.
