It’s almost a rite of passage that everyone’s first job is a pretty underwhelming gig that involves wearing a uniform, handling some food and/or groceries, being yelled at by customers for something, and earning very little money.
For celebrities like Miley Cyrus, you’d think that they would be spared of this sort of thing because they’re, you know, rich. But as it so happens, Miley’s first paying gig wasn’t Hannah Montana or being a waitress somewhere. In fact, it was something that makes stacking shelves at a supermarket seem luxurious while also making you wonder what Billy Ray Cyrus was thinking at the time.
Not joking at all
Back when Miley was just a young kid, Billy would take her along with him on his tours because nothing says quality father-daughter bonding time than going on the road. It is on these tours where Billy gave Miley her first ever paying job. If you thought it was something like moving equipment around or handing out bottles of water to the crew, you’d be wrong.
After each of his concerts, Billy would pay Miley $10 to go around picking up all the underwear and bras thrown on-stage by his overzealous female fans.
Yeah.
But hey, she had a good attitude towards it as she told Rolling Stone that she would “get a really big one and be like, ‘Dad! I found your biggest fan!’”
The only appropriate response.
Nothing gets you ready for the real working world than a job at a fast food place or supermarket, but Miley got thrown into the deep end of some unknown pool there. To her credit, she’s come out the other side with flying colours so maybe there was method to Billy’s madness. Maybe.
One thing’s for sure, working at Maccas suddenly doesn’t seem so bad.
