More on job
I’ve worked in construction, in a factory sewing clothes. I also sold flowers and doughnuts – just odd jobs to try to make 10 pesos, which is equivalent to 20 cents.
Manny PacquiaoManny Pacquiao My first job was working for my dad. He was a used-car dealer, and I used to wash the cars down, clean them out, and so on. I would do stuff for him pretty much every day. It was quite a good job, to be honest.
Tyson FuryTyson Fury I find what I do for a living really funny. I mean, acting is kind of a hilarious thing for a grown man to call a job.
Christian BaleChristian Bale Seeing the energy of ‘SNL’ made me want to be a part of it. If that was a job, I thought, that was the job I wanted. That was my plan. Comedy.
