Marissa Mayer: Supermarket check-out
瑪麗莎?梅耶爾：超市收銀員

Yahoo! chief executive Marissa Mayer was one of Google's earliest employees and has amassed an estimated fortune of $380m (￡262m), according to Forbes.
據《福布斯》雜志，雅虎首席執行官瑪麗莎?梅耶爾曾是谷歌公司最早雇員之一，其資產累計約有3.8億美元（2.62億英鎊）。

But that wealth must have felt a long way away when she was working behind a till at a supermarket during high school.
這樣一筆財富，對于當時埋頭于超市收銀臺工作的高中生而言，真是任重道遠。

"I learned a lot about work ethic from people who had been there for 20 years," she told the LA Times.
她對《洛杉磯時報》記者說：“在那里，我從那些工作長達20年的前輩身上學到了關于職業道德的諸多經驗。

"They could do 40 items a minute over an eight-hour shift. I was pretty routinely in the 38-to-41 range. I was pretty happy about that. I have a good memory for numbers."
“在當班的八小時中，他們可一分鐘刷完40項商品，我通常處在38至41項之間，對此我相當開心，我對數字記憶很敏感。”
