Overview
What was the best/worst job you ever had? And what did teach you about success? 75 famous and successful Canadians recall their early jobs
Imagine David Suzuki selling you a basket of hand-picked raspberries. Or Barenaked Ladies' Steven Page cleaning up spilled nacho sauce under your stadium seat. Picture fashionista Jeanne Beker deep-frying your waffle at The Ex. Or answering the door to discover the pizza guy is… Detective Murdock himself.
Strange as they seem, all are true stories. Journalist Rosemary Counter knows because David Suzuki, Steven Page, Jeanne Beker, and Yannick Bisson told her so themselves.
Over and over again, rich and famous Canadians recalled early jobs from before they were rich and famous, when they were regular people starting out in the world and workforce with minimal (if any) experience, no power or pull or prestige, and a whole lot of uncertainty. That is, they were just like you, and How I Spent My Summer is the inspiration you need to carry you through to September.
