First Jobs of the Rich and FamousDon't worry if you get stuck with an odd job that might not totally dovetail with your life goals. Many successful celebrities have had some strange jobs before hitting it big.
1. Orlando Bloom's first job was working at a skeet shooting range as a clay pigeon trapper when he was just 13.
2. Beyonce Knowles' mother owned a salon when the future pop star was growing up, so the aspiring singer picked up some extra cash by sweeping up hair.
3. As a teenager Mick Jagger worked as an ice cream salesman. After entering the London School of Economics, Jagger also worked as a porter at a mental hospital.
4. Need a rat catcher? Call Warren Beatty. He caught rodents to pay the bills before hitting it big.
5. It's tough to envision Colin Powell as anything other than a general or diplomat, but when he was growing up in the Bronx, he worked in a baby furniture store. Powell even picked up a bit of Yiddish on the job since that was the preferred language of his employers.
6. Warren Buffett had cash going through his hands even as a young man; his first job was at his grandfather's grocery store, although he eventually worked his way up to a gig at J.C. Penney.
7. Of course, some early jobs predict the future rather well. Before rising to prominence with Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne worked in a slaughterhouse.
8. As a young man, Matthew McConaughey wanted to get away from Texas for a while, so he spent a year in Australia. To support himself, he took on a number of jobs, including one that involved shoveling chicken manure.
9. Gwen Stefani earned some cash in her early days mopping floors at a local Dairy Queen.
10. Rod Stewart had a number of jobs before his music career took off, but gravedigger was undoubtedly the creepiest.
