With the help of our regular 9-to-5
employment, we try to keep the peace with our grumpy landlords by providing necessities like electricity,
food, and rent. We all know there's a reason this place is nicknamed the "hustle and bustle," yet few of us can afford to leave our day jobs no matter how much we despise them. Some people are prepared to risk the security of a regular paycheck to follow their passion.
People who set their minds to something and work hard at it succeed, whether their goal is to become a
dog hairdresser, the owner of many Los Angeles
restaurant chains, or a super celebrity. However, most people think of a famous actress or singer as someone who has way too much money. There's a need to keep in mind that there are several u
nexpected jobs that celebrities have done. See the full list of celebrity unexpected jobs in this post. 1. Rihanna

The first celebrity to sign with Def Jams CEO
Jay-Z was signed that year, 2003. The number of Grammy Awards that
Rihanna has won is nine. The R&B singer has appeared in major films like Battleships due to her rising star status over the past decade. After learning more about Rihanna, we could see why she was cast. A former member of the armed forces, the singer was a veteran. In the reserve force of Barbados, she had a fellow R&B singer as her drill teacher. Really? It came as a surprise to everyone that Rihanna was a military veteran.
2. Barack Obama

Our favorite President worked at Baskin Robbins in Honolulu, Hawaii. ABC News, The Dallas Morning News, and PolitiFact broke the story. Obama posted it on social media, then erased it. Why post if we're worried about others think, especially regarding a past job? Poor dude scooped so much ice cream he became sick of it. Obama might get bored of dishing ice cream, but everyone loves it.
3. Geena Davis

This celebrity's day job wasn't boring. Instead, she was named 'living mannequin' Before she was a spokesperson and starred in Beetlejuice and Thelma & Louise, Geena Davis worked at Ann Taylor. The actress said she learned her ability to be still by sitting in a store window. Her remarkable talent made shoppers think she was a dummy. The management eventually let her work weekends in the window. Working as a 'living mannequin' is one of the craziest and greatest careers we've heard of.
4. Warren Beatty

Warren Beatty's job history is wilder than working in a store window. Why did he accept one of the most demeaning and repulsive jobs offers ever? We understand he was 17, and teens don't make many good decisions. Everyone needs cash. There are better jobs than catching pests. Beatty was the crazy kid in class who caught rats in D.C.'s alleyways. As a womanizer, it probably serves him right.
5. Cardi B

Hamm might be sorry that he chose to work in
Entertainment as an adult, but
Cardi B doesn't feel the same way. The Love and Hip Hop star started out in the dance industry when he was 19. This led to his success as a rapper and Instagram mogul. She used to work in a grocery store, but not many people know that. He found work at an Amish market in New York City. She was fired after giving a co-worker a discount without permission. Her old boss told her to look for work at a gentlemen's club. The rap star has always said that her job in the adult entertainment industry has kept her safe.
6. Megan Fox

Megan Fox was another "it" girl in Hollywood. Jennifer's Body and the first two Transformers movies got her a lot of attention. The way Fox looks, it's like she grew up on set. Like the rest of us, this beautiful actress had a job. It wasn't as cool as being a living mannequin or singing Tina Turner on a cruise ship. She wore a banana suit to promote a smoothie shop. We were upset, but we all have to start somewhere, right?
7. Ellen DeGeneres

Before she went on Johnny Carson's show in 1986, Ellen DeGeneres had several jobs because she was so bored at work. This woman used to paint houses and sell vacuums, but now she shucks oysters. It can get boring to eat oysters, especially when they smell so bad. Anyone could feel sad. Almost no one knows what an Oyster Shucker is. Usually, the job description means taking off the shell of a shellfish. The average wage is $45,000 per year. We're sure Ellen wasn't making that much when she quit this job and others to do her show.
