Beyoncé swept hair at mother's hair salon

Beyoncé swept hair at mother's hair salon, Everybody’s got to start somewhere, right? Whether you’re the President of the United States or the most powerful performer in the world– that work ethic, the engine that has created such an overwhelming sense of drive, has to be forged at a young age.

For Beyonce, who claims to put 110% into everything, the very first gig she ever landed was working in her mother’s hair salon. Before Tina Knowles became a fashion designer, she owned and ran a hair salon in Houston, Texas.

How important is it to start working young? Well, the majority of Fortune 400 billionaires all had jobs as young teens. As Forbes reports, most of them had paper routes– and it stirred something in them:

“Though the jobs may seem menial, these billionaires-to-be made the most of their first work experiences. As a 12-year-old, Adelson, the future richest man in Las Vegas, borrowed $200 from an uncle to buy the right to sell newspapers on two busy corners in Boston. Oilman-to-be Pickens also showed zeal as a 12-year-old paperboy, quickly expanding his 28-house paper route to 156 by taking over the routes of his competitors.”

First jobs can really set a person up for their life. Many times it forges a sense of work and money in a young person, often making them want  more.
