The Car Washer Who Became An Executive

Read what this successful executive says about his first job.
“I grew up in Freeport, Illinois. My first job was at the local carwash. I was sixteen years old. I worked every day, all summer, for a dollar an hour. I worked with ten other guys. All of us were from different racial, religious and economic backgrounds. We had to clean cars in teams, and we quickly learned to work together.
I learned the better way to become indispensable: you know how to do all aspects of your job. At the carwash, ‘all aspects’ included vacuuming the interior, scrubbing whitewalls and polishing chrome until it shined. Sixteen years later, when I started my own business, I again had to know how to do every job in the company – advertising, marketing, producing and negotiation contracts.
Working at the carwash taught me that there is a direct connection between work and a feeling of self-esteem. Young people who refuse jobs that they consider inferior or low-paying are only hurting themselves. As long as you do your best, every job is a learning experience and a step to a better job.”
