She Started Flipping Burgers, Now She's The Boss At Six Flags Magic Mountain

Starting at the bottom: Weber was a 16-year-old high school student when she started working a summer job at Magic Mountain, flipping burgers at one of the park's fast-food joints.

By that time, she had been promoted to managing half of the park's food operations. Weber's career goal was to go into marketing. She left the park for brief stints to work in advertising and marketing, but Magic Mountain kept calling her back.
