Being a celebrity comes with as equal privileges as it comes with the pressure. However, many of the celebrities we see today did not just attain their statuses overnight.
While some have roamed in a variety of occupations before arriving at the door of stardom, others have also had to battle a number of obstacles before reaching such heights.
But there is also a third school who passed through the cycle first being teachers before rising to become celebrities.
You might think teaching and acting or singing have nothing in common, but the fact is that both demand hard work and artistry to succeed.
Here are five Ghanaian celebrities who were once teachers.
