Since appearing on the hit sitcom,Aniston has been open about her complicated feelings about Rachel.

And, as it turns out, Aniston’s career trajectory was quite similar.

Still, her family’s success in the entertainment industry didn’t make Jennifer a shoo-in.

She was once a bike messenger in New York City but only for a day.

She also tried her hand at telemarketing, which she acknowledged not being very good at.

“I didn’t make one sale.”

she admitted, adding, “I was terrible at it.

I was like, ‘Why do we have to call people at dinnertime?'”

Once she starred in “Friends,” Jennifer Aniston would become known for"The Rachel" haircut.

Coincidentally, another job she tried before her big break was as an amateur hairdresser.

“I cut hair for 10 bucks a head in junior high,” Aniston recalled to InStyle.

She added, “I cut my dad’s hair, and he was on a soap opera.

If you’re not happy, you might become happy.

Happiness is a choice.”

For her, landing “Friends” did just that.

And, all that training taking orders just might have helped her get there.
