People got rich “PANNING for gold!”
In other words, they took action. They kept moving forward until they were successful. And so must you.
Sometimes, the best thing to do is not be so picky and just get to work. Take the first available opportunity, whatever it is, get to work and start building your experience in the work place.
Here’s a list of famous celebrities and their part time jobs:
- Actor and Academy Award Winner Russell Crowe was once a waiter
- Academy Award Winning actress Nicole Kidman used to work at her local movie theater
- Actor Matthew McConaughey shoveled chicken poop in Australia as one of his part time teen jobs

None of these jobs sound glamorous by any stretch of the imagination. But as you can see, these stars and celebs had to start somewhere.
Part time teen jobs are all around you and the opportunities are plentiful. Do it for the money PLUS the experience and to build your confidence.
Each part time teen job is a stepping-stone for better jobs in the future that will come around the corner and will allow you to build a promising resumé, if you’re first willing to do what it takes to get the job, learn the ropes, master your position, and move on to bigger and better things.
And remember that the most important thing is to take action NOW! Stop planning for gold and start PANNING FOR GOLD!
