Our current president says his first job was collecting empty
soda bottles. When his dad would visit construction sites, Donald and his
brother tagged along and snagged bottles to redeem for cash. At age thirteen, Hillary
Clinton tended her neighbors’ children. Harrison Ford, Bernie Sanders and Matt
LeBlanc used to be carpenters. Madeline Albright sold lingerie in a Denver
department store. Whoopi Goldberg used to work as a beautician. In a morgue.
Hugh Jackman was once a high school gym teacher. He also worked as a $50-per-party clown. Amy Adams was a waitress at Hooters. Jennifer Aniston
was a telemarketer for two whole weeks. My point is that first jobs don’t tend
to be very glamorous or lucrative. They’re not meant to be. They’re not even
meant to pay a living wage. I think the purpose of entry-level jobs is that
they compel you - in so many ways - to move
to the next level.
