Top execs share their first job—and what they got paid

Working with my father at Cinnabon. I'd make $60 a day and I'd put it in the bank and save it for a car and a house. The newspaper route with my sister was probably under $4 an hour. A cashier at Hardee's. Sometimes my pay would get docked because I would eat too many fries. My first paycheck I got was for my first week that I worked in Austria as a professional ballerina. I scooped ice cream. $3.25 an hour. Selling jeans at the Express. $8.50 an hour. Extra commission for the number of jeans you sold. Swim instructor. $20 an hour. Being in the NBC Universal page program. If you've seen 30 Rock, yes, like Kenneth the Page, yes, we wear the suits and we give the studio tours. That was a little bit above minimum wage. Abercrombie and Fitch in the local mall. I think I got minimum wage. Weekly babysitting job, maybe six bucks an hour. I was 12 and my parents had to sign a release for me to work at Cal Amigos Ranch in Malibu and I worked the ice cream machine. I couldn't remember, but enough to buy candy.
