Before the dancing talk show host Ellen DeGeneres hit it big, she paid some dues with one of these gigs. Which one?

Pre-fame (but post-dropping out of college after one semester), DeGeneres worked a string of truly odd jobs just to make ends meet. In addition to shucking oysters, she sold clothes at Merry-Go-Round, waited tables, bartended, painted houses, worked at a car wash, wrapped gifts, and sold Hoover vacuums. Whew!
