20 career lessons from celebrities

#5: Kim Kardashian

Lesson: It is who you know.

Long before she was known for her “assets,” Kim Kardashian came into the spotlight as the BFF of celebutante and tabloid favorite Paris Hilton.

She now has her own reality show (Keeping Up With the Kardashians), a workout DVD and, of course, a sex tape. In addition to being friends with Paris, Kardashian is the daughter of late OJ Simpson lawyer Robert Kardashian and the stepdaughter of Olympian Bruce Jenner.

Is it fair that she rakes in millions for no other reason than who she knows? Of course not. But life rarely is. And nepotism is not exclusive to the entertainment industry.

Most people get jobs through someone they know. Who you know may not make you millions or snag you your very own TV show, but he or she can help you get a foot in the door and set you on your path to career success. Embrace the idea of developing a relationship with your nursing instructor outside the classroom.
