Real Jobs Of The Jersey Shore Cast
Real Jobs Of The Jersey Shore Cast - The current cast of “Jersey Shore” wants more money from MTV, but it looks like most cast members will make more in one TV episode than they do in one year at their current jobs.
Slideshow: Famous People From New Jersey
MyFoxPhilly did some checking into what Snookie, The Situation and Sammie did before they filled “Jersey Shore” in Seaside Heights, N.J.
We don’t know how much money each cast member makes (or made) at their old jobs. But using SimplyHired.com and some other sources, we do know the annual average salary at jobs like the ones that Ronnie and J-Woww work at.
One note: the cast reportedly balked at $10,000 per person, or $120,000, to shoot for one month this summer.
We have a feeling that attitude may change if MTV hires new cast members!
