Some hourly workers graduate from dishwasher to manager. And apparently a few others graduate from dishwasher to the voice singing the pop songs pumping through the crackling kitchen speakers right above the dishwasher.

Music website Spinner.com has published a list of the top 20 worst pre-rock star jobs. But let’s be honest, in comparison to rock star, any job stinks. President stinks. Stuntman stinks. Even being a stuntman who plays the president stinks. When you have someone separating M&Ms by color in your green room, and bevy of good-looking stalker-groupies waiting outside your trailer to sign your abs and maybe shoot a YouTube video of you changing your socks, life is good. Sort of.

But enough with the rant. The list includes Sting’s gig as a tax officer, Madonna’s stint slummin’ at a doughnut shop and Snoop Dog’s J.O.B. bagging groceries. Among the creepier entries: Rod Stewart worked as a grave digger. (He should have buried his atrocious, 10-lb. blond mullet then and there.)

Check out the list for yourself – or search for teen jobs and part-time jobs now.
