Lessons from My First Job

Apart from my football career, I have only had two other jobs in my life. My first job was at Abercrombie & Fitch when I was 17, earning $7.40 per hour.

Looking back, it seems crazy to think about. However, I appreciate that job and what it taught me. It made me realize the importance of those who have supported me, especially my mom, as that wage was certainly not enough to live on. I also learned that making the right choices can lead to a significant increase in wages.

Situations can be temporary, and it’s important to keep that in mind. This experience also highlights the value of profits over wages. As Jim Rohn eloquently puts it, “profits are better than wages. Wages will make you a living, profits can make you a fortune.”
