6- Russell Simmons at Orange Julius
Who said that successful businessmen can’t have an early career in fast food?
The co-founder of Def Jam Records and fashion line creator Russell Simmons is the perfect example that a successful businessman can have an early career in fast food!
Before he was this rich and famous, he started working on the most common field- fast food.
His first job was at an Orange Julius, where he worked for only a month while he was in high school.
He admitted in an interview for Forbes magazine that: “I got $2.25 an hour, as I remember. I was fired after a month, so I learned you need to be inspired about work.”
