Everyone out there has had an awful first job experience. You know; the one where you spend nine hours a day waiting on rude and entitled customers who demand to know if you work there, even though you're wearing the horrendous khaki vest that goes with the job, or yell at you about the expensive prices in the full knowledge that you don't personally set them.

While we may find it difficult to imagine, before they were strutting down the Met Gala carpet, many A-listers out there made their money by being employed in completely normal positions. Jobs where they didn't get their hair and make-up perfectly done each day and had to pop out at lunchtime to get their own coffee. Did you know Harry Styles was a bakery boy before hitting the big time? Or that Jay-Z used to sell crack to make ends meet? As hard as it is to believe, it's all true.
