This is ridiculous. Either you have an article or you don't. I need to click 3x to get the information. What a scam. Done and Done with you.

I had no idea this article would be so much work.  This isn't actually an article, it's a task list for the person who was paid to research these sites and put together some information in the form of an article.  How about a single page with photos and text with the celebrity's name followed by a sentence or two about their first jobs?  Too hard?  
After clicking on the second slide, I've completely lost interest, and I'm not going to spend my lunch break searching and reading 46 separate articles.  Wouldn't it be great if I could just make a reference list of links to all the books I've read and call it "my dissertation"?

These storys are so WORTHLESS. I see them "oh this may be interested to read, lets see" Then EVERYTIME you click on them its all "Oh heres a picture of so and so, oh you wanted the answer to the question we posed to get you to read this worthless basically fake article? GO SEARCH ON BING" I hate bing, its a flaming pile of crap. Stop being stupid MSN.

I agree with Just0r that this story is worthless. I am not reading it or clicking on any links.

Even a 'mouse-over' to reveal the person's job would be OK. I am not going to open a link to find out the answer and certainly will NOT check out any advertising.

I hate it when the article isn't on one page, I would have like to read it but I'm not going to click through 46 individual pages and then have to click another link on each one of those pages.

Humble early jobs of the famous.............W​ho really cares ?  They are people just like everyone else for xxxxx sake!  I'm tired of people being put up on pedestals just because they have some ability!!!!  Get real people.............a​ll people have their own unique qualities and are no less important than anyone else.  So many of the so called "famous" have swelled enough heads because other people make that happen.  Cut it out !

 

Alot of good people out there with alot more heart and soul never get recognized.  People that truly care about others and show it in day to day living.  That is the type of person we should all celebrate and take example from.  People that strive hard to make a good living for themselves and their family, that show kindness to others..........thes​e are the people that make America great.

It's good to know that the wealthy worked hard before they got to were they're at now. No one ever said it would be easy. Hard work pay off.

What21:  Is this democrats and liberal only?

Spreading right wing numbskull stupidity on an open fire comment was a major fail.

 

Look again on who was on this half baked put together list not really even completed. 

 

I'm sure your find some republicans and conservatives.  If not you need to adjust the tin foil on your hat, your AM radio dials, and/or turn off the tv.
