Valentina Sleek is a 28-year-old Trader Joe's artist in Charlotte, North Carolina. I applied for an opening I came across at Trader Joe's as a crew member who bags groceries. I have to remind myself that the store art is only temporary. As a rough estimate, I'd say that I've done more than 400 pieces of art for Trader Joe's since working with them. Trader Joe's has taken care of me, and the fact that they keep investing in original store art is what makes them popular.

Ulises Perez, 22, has been an Amazon delivery driver in Salt Lake City since 2020. I'd always wanted to be an Amazon driver as soon as I knew of the job's existence. I began to bide my time until I turned 21 — which is the official age to start work as an Amazon driver — and I could join my dream profession. A while after leaving my previous job, I came across an opening for a driver on Indeed, which I applied for. (Editor's note: Perez, like many Amazon delivery drivers, was hired by a local delivery-service partner and is considered an independent subcontractor with Amazon.)

Rich Rotella, 38, is an actor who had limb-lengthening surgery to advance his career. The surgery itself took four hours, but the recovery is the most time-consuming part — it's a slow, painful process. Rotella in a wheelchair after his limb-lengthening surgery.

I don't pay heed to negative reactions that I've gotten from the people around me who still think I was wrong to do this, because limb-lengthening surgery is just like any other cosmetic surgery.
