We admire any celebrity who has work experience outside of the entertainment world.
It shows that they have a strong work ethic and they understand what regular people go through from day-to-day. Also, it hopefully helps them appreciate where they are now and reminds them not to forget about the little people now that they’re up on top.
Here are five celebs who had careers before they were famous.Katie Lowes
When you think of the word “career,” you may picture an office with a desk and a computer. Katie’s office, however, was the home of her boss, Connie Britton. Yes, the American Horror Story and Nashville star. She was the nanny to Connie’s son before she scored the awesome role as Quinn Perkins on ABC’s Scandal.
Ellen DeGeneres
It’s hard to picture Ellen as anything other than the hilarious, talented and dancing host of a hit talk show. Would you believe she was once a paralegal? We can’t either. Imagining her behind a desk for eight hours is hard. Plus, containing that amazing personality of hers should be against the law.
Kim Kardashian
Here’s another mind-blowing success story: Kim actually served famous people! She worked as a personal assistant to Paris Hilton. This is the true meaning of “started from the bottom now we’re here.” She now has a huge fan base, multiple products and projects and is married to one of the biggest rap artists of our time. You go, Glenn Coco!
Sheryl Crow
Before all Sheryl wanted to do was have some fun, she was a music teacher at an elementary school in St. Louis. How amazing would it be to say you were taught by Sheryl Crow when you were little? We’re a little jealous of the people who can say that!
Martha Stewart
Martha is quite the homemaker. She’s knowledgeable about home decor and gardening. Not to mention, her home product lines are amazing. Can you believe she actually used to be a stock broker? To think, with all that Wall Street wisdom, she would have avoided the insider trading scandal. Nonetheless, we are glad she’s out of the slammer and back on top!
