As long as she was raking in a good sum in her banks, it wasn't much of a problem for her. It's great that Goldberg chose an acting career and left this job behind.

He was later tasked by a greenskeeper to shoot any trespassing armadillos munching the grass on the greens. somehow, it seems a fitting job for McConaughey!

Longoria shocked fans with her revelation in The Rachael Ray Show on an episode dedicated to the National Cheeseburger Day. The star also spilled a couple of the chain's secrets to their juicy and delicious burger!

The Queen of Pop herself, Madonna, also went through a time in her life before fame where she was trying to make ends meet while waiting for her big break. Madonna wound up working several part-time jobs in the Big Apple before she became a star singer.
One of the many jobs she took on was as a Dunkin Donuts sales associate! But then, true to her drama queen traits, she was fired after she squirted jelly donut filling all over a customer. It sounds like Madonna was always a diva! While her days serving up pastries are behind her, we bet she walks down memory lane once in a while! It's a great thing that she didn't stick to the odd jobs, or else the world would not have gotten hits like True blue, Like A Virgin, and Confessions on a Dancefloor.
Meghan Markle – Calligrapher
We all know that the charming Meghan Markle was a successful actress before she joined the Royal Family.

Markle worked in Beverley Hills at a Paper Source. She was a calligraphy instructor and a freelance calligrapher as a side job.
Nowadays, Markle is so busy being a fashion icon, being a mom and a wife, and doing charity work that she barely has the time to do much calligraphy. Of course, she could call the highest dollar for her calligraphy works now if she had to take it up again! From her acting career, Markle has a net worth of $5 million, though it could have been a lot more if she continued her career in the industry.
Rachel McAdams – McDonald's Drive-Thru Worker
It is surprising how many celebrities today once had a job at McDonald's. Perhaps there's a link somehow – anyone looking to become famous in the entertainment industry could probably try for a job at McDonald's first, as it seems to bring good luck! Rachel McAdams is yet another celebrity who once flipped burgers at the chain store. However, McAdams now laughs when looking back at her time of employment at the chain and shares that she wasn't a good employee!
McAdams worked there for three years. But when she broke the orange juice machine and led to back-ups in the drive-thru queue with her OCD handwashing habits things had to end.

Melissa McCarthy – Starbucks Barista

When she first relocated, she didn't have a car, and so she took up jobs that she could walk to. One of her first jobs was as a barista at Starbucks. We wonder whether anyone remembers a young McCarthy handing them their latte! Ironically, McCarthy once had to serve Chris Farley a coffee and found herself starstruck!

What you wouldn't expect is to call customer services and speak to a woman like Nicki. Yeah, as you can imagine, her first job as a customer services representative didn't go all that well. Nicki quickly grew tired of listening to others' complaints.
Nicki has revealed that she also had a job as a server at a red Lobster, but she wound up getting fired after chasing a couple right into the parking lot. All that for stealing her pen…. Yeah, she sure doesn't have the temperament for regular jobs! She seems to have the right kind of personality to show business, which explains why she does so well in the music industry! Minaj has a net worth of $100 million today.
Brad Pitt – Chicken Mascot
In his days as a struggling actor, Brad Pitt was working a job that we could safely say is pretty far from the image he strikes up in our minds today. These days, when you think of Brad Pitt, you think of his masculine good looks, his muscular physique, and his charming eyes. What you don't imagine, though, is Brad Pit as a chicken Mascot! Indeed, to get a salary, Pitt had to don a yellow-feathered suit and wave a sign! He shares that he did not shy away from talking about his previous job and spoke about it in detail on The Ellen Degeneres Show.

Kanye West is a man envied by many. He is living the top-dollar lifestyle, has a drop-dead gorgeous wife and lovely kids, plus $1.3 billion to his name. There seems to be nothing that Kanye West cant achieve. However, it puts things in perspective to consider that West wasn't always a mega-star. In fact, at one point in his life, he was a retail employee at GAP. He was the average joe. And today, he's one of the richest people who walk the earth.
If that isn't inspiring, we don't know what is. He also worked at the fashion brand Fendi before launching his own incredibly successful career in fashion. Before that, he was working at Fendi to gain more knowledge in the field, which certainly worked out well for him!

Among the innumerable accolades Swift has earned till now, she has more than five Guinness world records, an Emmy, and over nine Grammy Awards to her credit. However, such an enterprising music career was not what she started her life with. From ages 5 to 10, Swift's job was to gather a kind of insect called praying-mantis from the Christmas trees to prevent them from hatching inside homes. Today, she has a bank balance people can only dream of.
Jennifer Aniston – Bike Messenger
Jennifer has been a heart-throb ever since she stepped into the show business. She was quick to steal our hearts as Rachel Green in Friends, one of the most famous sitcoms ever on television. She soon rose the ladder in her career and became one of Hollywood's highest-paid actresses with her performances in films like Bruce Almighty, The Good Girl, Marley & Me, and Friends with Money.
During those days when she wasn't a Hollywood A-lister, Jennifer used to be a bike messenger. Yeah, you read it right. She used to pedal around NYC in search of work. It's hard to imagine her now doing so, but that's how simple a lifestyle she had back when she was 19 years of age. We guess, such a humble background has probably kept her grounded amidst so much success and glamour all around.
Cardi B – Amish Market Cashier
Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar is popular by her on-screen name Cardi B. Before she rose to fame as a star, she was making a living as a cashier at an Amish market in her teenage days.

By then, he had already become a huge star in the entertainment industry. Cooper has been an integral part of several projects in Hollywood, such as American Hustle, Wedding Crashers, American Sniper, and The Place Beyond the Pines.

Cindy is one of those prominent figures in the show business who has had humble beginnings.

These days, she boasts of a luxurious lifestyle, which is in stark contrast with her early life.

He was confident that one day he would set the box office on fire, and by god, he did.
Jack Sparrow from the iconic Pirates of the Caribbean series has won the hearts of every Hollywood buff around the world.

He was studying makeup at the esteemed American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Manhattan when he decided to attend acting classes. Eventually, he got the inclination towards it, and the rest is history.
Danny went on to play significant roles in films such as Batman Returns, L.A. Confidential, Terms of Endearment, and The War of the Roses.

Danny's talent and hard work have been highly appreciated by the fans and critics alike, and that is his most precious gift, he feels.
Megan Fox – Banana Mascot
Megan kick-started her career as an actress in the year 2001 and starred in Hope & Faith, the popular sitcom on television. She soon grabbed her first film role in the 2004 musical-comedy, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. Megan was quick to catch the imagination of the cine-goers and went on to star in Transformers, Jennifer's Body, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, among several other projects. Nowadays, she boasts of a bulging bank account.
Megan was probably not meant to be an actress from the beginning as she started earning money like a banana mascot at a smoothie shop in Florida. Though her main job was behind the main counter, she had to dress herself up as a giant banana at least once in a week. All she had to do was attract customers to the shop. Quite amusing, isn't it?
Jon Hamm – Set Dresser For Adult Movies
John Hamm made a name for himself in the show business in a rather unconventionally. Years after he attained quite a good name as an actor and producer, he divulged that his entrance into the entertainment industry was as a set-dresser for adult movies during the 90s decade. From his words, it was probably evident that he had to do all of it for money, and it didn't satisfy his soul. He left his job and proceeded towards making a career in television.
John made appearances in a host of T.V. shows such as What About Brian, Providence, and others. His acting skills made filmmakers take notice, and he was soon cast as a lead in films like Beirut, Keeping Up with the Joneses, and Million Dollar Arm. Whatever investments he has made in his acting career till now has reaped benefits for him.

He has been active in the industry since the year 2002. Hartley had been married twice in his career and had to appoint a divorce lawyer once.
Lawn Mower is what he used to be before he made his foray into acting. Hartley mowed lawns instead of $20 a pop. Though $20 might not seem much, Hartley and his brother made some good money out of it. The actor is doing well for himself these days, and we hope that he would soon come up with something more exciting in the days to come.

She took up the job to repay student loans. We do have immense respect for this enterprising lady.
