Matthew McConaughey
Matthew McConaughey’s job as a teenager was the opposite of glamorous. Born and raised in Texas, McConaughey found a job at a farm, cleaning chicken coops. Although he was an acclaimed athlete in high school, he never worked at it professionally. As a kid, he never had this grandiose dream of being an actor, like some other celebrities on the list, but you can say that acting found him.
He considered enrolling in law school, until he decided he had no interest in being a lawyer. Later, he briefly considered attending the Southern Methodist University, until this option was hindered by his brother, telling him their parents couldn’t afford the private school tuition. That’s how McConaughey went with his third option and majored in Radio-Television-Film, which eventually led him to the business.
