'It Was My Worst: Kenyan Media Personality Jeff Koinange Speaks about His First Job in the US

If you had come from a regular Kenyan family, that McDonald’s job would have been your first best job.

Worst job! Ha, what about cleaning toilets? And going to graduate school at the same time.

For those who have resided in North America; truly have a story; wait until you hear those who lived in the US then later moved to Canada. For my case in the US, my first job was as a pest control technician. Capturing and Killing rodents, rats, mice, squirrels, birds, and even ants. At one point I was called for a snake; I quit the same day! I took my job batch to my boss and said, " I AM D-O-N-E!!!!

He conveniently forgot to mention the one that got him booted out for a scandal akin to "me too" movement! We all start from the grassroots Jeff and some (like you) with a tea silver spoon in their mouth! You made it though and I like you....depending on the day (a bit like mermite). That voice can sometimes grate on one's nerve!

Truth be told. Koinange comes from a prevelaged background. Some of us were grateful to work at McDd. He still does have an upturned nose. In other words, he is a pompous ass.

Talking about having the worst job in US to people who can take anything to survive. So tone deaf and a braggart but thats life.

I worked the grave yard shift at a gas station in a state where winters are BRUTAL with no car. Apart from worrying all night about getting stuck up, going home was an adventure in itself. Yet I can't say that was my worst job because it gave the ability to support my family at that time. You have to use those moments to grow and better yourself. I am glad I went through that and I know some people have gone through worse.

Yeah right. Why is this guy still on radio. Give younger Kenyans opportunities instead of hogging every job in the media. You should've retired by now, helping the younger generation to learn the ropes.

@Kyeed...right? I had to do a double take at Chris's comment and google Jeff's age! Retire in his fifties...good Lord! However, I hear they retire the civil servants at 50 in Kenya. Double standards when you check the leaders ages.

Jeff - please don’t be an arrogant brat, please! Evidently your family back home kept you a float with un-endless supply of cash; making that job the worst you can remember! Did you expect to live a princely lifestyle as a foreign student in America? Further more, you still went to a cheap two year college before heading to an accredited academic institution - which means you needed that @worst@ job then to make ends meet.
