Everyone has to start somewhere. Even the most famous people who have accomplished amazing things in their lifetime started from the bottom, somewhere. That’s what #firstsevenjobs or #first7jobs has shown us. The idea was first started by Twitter user named @mariancall on Aug 4th. She asked a simple question, “What were your first 7 jobs?” She of course went first and said “Babysitting, janitorial, slinging coffee, yard work, writing radio news, voice-overs, data entry/secretarial.”

This hashtag resonated with a lot of people and it grew so big that celebrities from all over the famous charts decided to share their first jobs. Some of the more famous participants include Buzz Aldrin, Stephen Colbert, “Hamilton” creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, Christina Perri, and even Monica Lewinsky.
