It’s comforting to know that the great majority of us are in the same boat. While we struggle and scrape to get that dream job in our chosen career, we labor in positions not particularly well suited for us, badly paid or just plain boring.

Johnny Depp‘s smooth actor’s voice came in handy in his pre-fame job as a telemarketer for a company that sold ballpoint pens.
