Fear not, recent college grads who have yet to find your calling. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said you shouldn't worry.

She wasn't sure of what to do when she graduated from Wellesley College — so she did what made the most sense.

She traveled with a couple of friends to Alaska, taking odd jobs along the way.

Nothing too crazy; washing dishes, gutting fish with a spoon.

Yes. Hillary once was working alongside "some gentlemen from Japan" who had her digging through salmon for caviar.

In an interview with "Girls" creator Lena Dunham as a part of her new "Lenny Letter" newsletter, Clinton was asked what advice she would give to women who recently graduated school and had yet to find their calling.

And yes, Clinton then explained how she put law school on hold and ended up gutting fish.

She admitted she wasn't very good at her digging for caviar, so they had her scraping the carcasses instead.

Then they would throw the carcass in the pile, and I had to take each one and clean out all that was left," she said. "I was trying to do a good job, so I was scraping and scraping, and they're screaming at me in Japanese, and somebody else is screaming at me in English. I didn't last long then. Then I was kicked upstairs to do packing, so I was packing the salmon. You had to pack head-tail, head-tail, head-tail. And I noticed that some of them didn't look really healthy to me. So I raised it with the guy who was running the plant. He said, "What do you care? They're gonna be shipped overseas! Nobody in America's gonna eat them." I said, "Well, I don't think that's right. We shouldn't be sending salmon that's gonna make anybody sick." He said, "Oh, just don't worry about it." Anyway, I go home that night, I go back the next day, and the whole operation has disappeared.
