#30: Courteney Cox

Many people say that if you want to work in a specific field, you should take any job you possibly can that can somehow be related. And whilst it might not be the ideal dream job that will get you exactly where you want to be, it can often help you meet the right people to know.

And when Courteney Cox first started trying her luck as an actress, she was working for a New York concert booking agency. Sure, it wasn’t the thing that landed her the spot of Monica Geller on Friends, which catapulted her career, but you never know who she was able to connect with from this job.
