Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban once said the best job he ever had was not in software, sports or television but teaching disco dancing to sorority houses for $25 an hour while he was in college, a side job he said had no obvious downside.
Cuban Calls Disco Lessons Best Job
It is not often that a billionaire openly says he would go back to an hourly wage. But on a 2019 podcast episode with host Jim Rome, Cuban said the "best job" of his college years paid him $25 an hour. "I think I invented the word ‘side-hustle,’" Cuban said.
Cuban had worked odd jobs, from selling garbage bags to stocking shelves and working at a bar while attending Indiana University. But one gig stood apart.
Cuban then told Rome, "I got paid $25 an hour back then to teach [disco] dancing to sororities," adding. "It was the best job ever."
