From Academics to Academy Awards.
Have you ever wondered what celebrities might be doing if they hadn’t stumbled upon the road of fame? It seems odd to think of Brad Pitt as a journalist or Rebel Wilson as a lawyer, but that’s where they were headed! Taylor Swift just recently said in an interview with GQ that she thinks she would have gone for Marketing.
So, in honor of making it through midterm week, let’s just take a moment to stroll through a couple legendary career choice changes.
Ashton Kutcher : Biochemical Engineering
Instead he went on to play Kelso. Enough said.
Cindy Crawford : Chemical Engineering
Technically she did figure out a way to remain ageless.
Jake Gyllenhaal : Eastern Religion and Philosophy
I think most people could agree this route wouldn’t have been too far fetched.
Will Ferrell : Sports Information
Let’s be honest… That would have been sort of amazing.
Julia Roberts : Veterinary Studies
She had a family full of actors. They won.
Ken Jeong : Pre-Med
Ditching medical for comical 101.
Natalie Portman : Psychology
I can think of at least one movie I saw starring Natalie that I wasn’t to sure how to feel about afterwards…
Emma Watson: English
She certainly has a way with words.
Donald Glover: Dramatic Writing
For anyone who has listened to his music, this isn’t really that surprising.
Matt Damon: English
He actually originally wrote Good Will Hunting as a screenplay for one of his Harvard English classes.
