The word “jobber” is defined in popular culture as somewhat of a journeyman. The movie Rocky tells the story of a boxing jobber, who defies the odds to become the world heavyweight champion. Talk radio veteran Jeff Zito speaks with celebrities about their first job. If not for their big break, what would they have become? Were they destined to be rich and famous? Or were they almost a jobber?
