#5 Samoa Joe worked as a mortgage broker
Samoa Joe didn't just fall into pro wrestling immediately after high school. Like many others in his profession, he had to work a day job for a time before pro wrestling fame came calling.
While some might think Joe's job prior to wrestling would have involved athletics in some fashion, such as being a personal trainer or coach, the truth is he was a mortgage broker.
A mortgage broker is about as far away from pro wrestling as you can get. Joe's job was to speak with prospective clients about their housing needs and find a way for them to pay for a home via bank loans.
It's an unlikely career choice for a man who would eventually be known as a violent Samoan Submission Machine.
