You’ll never guess Tinashe’s first career choice

Ah, the age-old question, “What would you pursue if you weren’t deep in your current career path?� It may conjure memories of a Myers-Briggs test and even make you wonder if you made the right choice. On the baby-blue carpet at the 2015 MTV Movie Awards, the actors and musicians there didn’t need to take a test to find their calling, even if it did involve food, education or psychology. They’re entertainers. Cue the dramatic wrist slap against a forehead.

Take rising singer-songwriter Tinashe, who said she’d be pursuing, let’s call it a culinary track, if she weren’t hitting up national stages. Hal- jokingly -- or maybe the joke is on us -- the 22-year-old actress said she’d be “probably be sitting on the couch eating French fries, like a professional fry taster.� Yum.

For MTV “Happyland� actress Katherine McNamara, she considered, heck, even pursued, economics during her studies after high school. “Economics was my whole life, and my interest and my love,� the 19-year-old said. “And then I fell into acting and decided to play dress-up for a living because I truly found my passion.� Quite the leap.

What about Zach Gilford? “The Purge: Anarchy� actor said he’d go for a career in instruction. “I studied education in college, so I’d probably be teaching high school somewhere,� the Illinois native said. Any subjects in particular? Math or English. Double talent.

Don’t forget about MTV “Faking It� actress Katie Stevens, who said she would have become a chef. Full-on cooking, full-on baking. “I’m Portuguese, so my grandmother taught me how to cook.�

And for a pair of Disney actresses, “Teen Beach Movie� star Maia Mitchell and “A.N.T. Farm� star Stefanie Scott, a career in psychology would have been their back fall. “I’d probably be in college studying the subject,� 18-year-old Scott said. “Or anything I could do to help people in that sort of way.�
