14 DAY TRIAL // It's not every day that a multi-million dollar-earning singer comes into a betting parlor and asks for a job. So imagine the surprise on the face of the duty manager of one such business when Susan Boyle came into their shop and asked about the job they had advertised in the window.
The news is brought by British newspaper The Sun, who says that the singer spent five minutes inquiring about a cashier job they were advertising for. “Susan Boyle walked into the shop and inquired about the job advertised in our window. We were all in shock,” said David Corr, deputy manager at the local Ladbrokes.
For those of you interested in a similar job, the part-time position pays off $10.42 (€7.6) per hour, which isn't bad if you're trying to get a little extra income during your free time, but it won't pay the bills.
And it's especially eyebrow-raising when you've got close to $30 million (€21,9 million) in the bank, which is exactly the number of millions that Susan is sitting on at the moment. So what could possibly make the successful singer consider such a down-sizing in income?
Some of the eyewitnesses think it's just a way of getting out of the house and socializing with people in the neighborhood. “I think she saw it as a way of getting out of the house and taking her mind off things,” one of the people present at the scene said.
“I have seen her around the town and she can appear a bit lonely. She likes to be with people who know her and will look out for her,” the eye-witness added.
This could very much be the true reason behind the strange decision, as the singer recently confirmed back in December of last year that she had been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, which is an autism spectrum disorder that makes it difficult for the patient to engage in social activities and nonverbal communication.
