The interest in bodybuilding has been growing in many ways for ages. In the 1980s era, people started working on their physical strength while achieving an aesthetically pleasing body shape. However, working on your skills while enrolled in a university was challenging for many. But Ronnie Coleman, a global star, accepted this challenge and did incredible work in all areas. 

The policeman-turned-bodybuilder has an incredible mindset when it comes to accounting. Yet, despite being handy in accounting, Ronnie could not find the job of his interest.

In reply, Coleman shared, “Well, to be honest. I was having a hard time getting a job with my degree in accounting, even though I did graduate at the top of my class. So, after struggling to find work for a few years and doing odd-end jobs, I decided to join the police force with some other guys because they were hiring. I loved my time as a police officer. Best job in the world.”

From newspapers and police man’s jobs to the megastar bodybuilder
