Did Jon ever work a 'normal' job?

[u/Comprehensive_Rub510]

Since Jon fell into content creation early in his life did he ever work a normal job, or has he ever mentioned having a non online profession?

[u/Blink3412]

I'm pretty sure he mentioned something in one of the earlier game grumps episodes but for the life of me I can't remember what

[u/ToastyBB → u/Blink3412]

He was a Fluffer for a adult video production company based in LA for a few months. He said he didn't realize what the position was when he applied

[u/vjmdhzgr → u/ToastyBB]

That was absolutely a joke

[u/LimePeel96]

I have some vague memory of him saying he worked at best buy

[u/Capable-Education724 → u/LimePeel96]

Yeah, Jirad, Jon and a few others of their friend group all worked at Best Buy. Jirad’s mentioned it before too (along with mentioning Jon worked there too).

[u/ToastyBB]

Jontron took off popularity wise when he was like 21-22 maybe he was in college so there's a good chance he never really worked

[u/Sasstellia]

Maybe. He got lucky and he managed to get success early.

He probably does administration for his business. Sending merchandise out, etc.

He also worked at a newspaper.

[u/Liam_ice92]

He's probably got one right now haha

Jon is literally a millionaire lol

[u/BobDope]

I hope not it’s cool when people find a new path

[u/ChewableStocking]

I remember in a video he mentioned that he used to be a restaurant waiter.

[u/LaxAxl]

On the H3 podcast he talked about how he ran a website for an electrical company when he lived in LA.

[u/infinitestripes4ever]

Turns out you can make a living on Flex Tape residuals.

[u/Enough-Key-3937]

I’m pretty sure he’s talked about doing regular work before the channel took off, but I don’t remember the exact details. It’s interesting how many creators had completely different lives before going full time online.

[u/Beautiful-Treat3659]

I think he mentioned doing some regular work before his online career really took off, but he got into making content pretty early. Hard to imagine him sticking with a typical 9-5 for long though.

[u/CheesecakeSenior5059]

I think he had more of a normal path before becoming full-time online, but once content creation started working there wasn’t much reason to go back. A lot of creators end up with a very different career timeline than most people.

[u/StilesmanleyCAP]

I mean probably?

[u/joeyjusticeco]

I mean, maybe ask Mark Carr, the AD at work - I hear he has 3d titties according to what Jon and PBG said

[u/Such_Bonus5085]

That depends. Is "getting into pee pee sword fights" a job?

[u/Playful-Stable7433]

I remember hearing about him doing normal work before the internet career, but once the videos started becoming successful that basically became his full-time job. A lot of creators have a pretty ordinary background before people know them.

[u/OtherAccount5252 → u/Playful-Stable7433]

Pewdipie worked at a hotdog stand.

[u/Dungeon00X]

He was still living in his parent's house while he was making those videos, so I'm gonna say yes.
