Before they were the masters of the universe, many of the biggest names in finance worked jobs outside of Wall Street.
We're talking about things from bagging walnuts to selling peanuts to delivering newspapers and attending parking lots.
Some of these jobs were things they did as kids to earn some extra spending money, while others were to pay for college or make an actual living.
We've compiled a list of thirteen big Wall Street names and detailed some of their earliest gigs.
