Lauren Conrad
If you are a fan of Laguna Beach, the popular reality show about well-off Californians that aired in the early 2000s, then you will know Lauren Conrad. She gained even more fame when she graduated to the series “The Hill.” By 2009, however, Conrad dropped the big screens for an entirely different career path. She was the highest-paid cast member of The Hills, but she knew it was unlikely to last as long as she would want in the career; hence, the switch. Today, she’s a successful writer, and she’s done quite some tailoring too. Taking full charge of her career means that she doesn’t have to live under the constant pressure of struggling to impress anymore.
