Appearances
I waitressed.
I bartended.
I mean, my first job was as a hostess at an Irish pub in suburban Westchester when I was in high school.
But then, yeah, I...
You know, in my 20s, too, I graduated college during the Great Recession, like a lot of us did.
Job market was brutal.
And, you know, my dad had gotten sick and passed away when I was a teenager while I was in college.
My mom was a single mom.
She cleaned houses.
She drove school buses.
And we almost were on the brink of losing our house.
And so at that time...
waitressing and bartending.
It was fast money.
And in a lot of ways, it paid more than a lot of entry-level work if you had a college degree.
And so that's what I did for years to make ends meet.
And yeah, you know, and I was so...
distressed during that time.
Um, yeah.
Yeah.
