11. Jack Swagger
The All American American himself, much like Angle, grew more than just his body while in pursuit of his amateur wrestling dreams. He successfully graduated from the University of Oklahoma back in 2006 with a bachelors degree in Finance. In fact, had it not been for Jim Ross, the Head of Talent Relations at the time, Swagger would have gone full time as part of a financial firm. The day Swagger was meant to sign with the first also happened to be the day he got his WWE contract in the mail. Swagger had to made a choice between the two and went with the life of a professional wrestler. Eight years later, Swagger is still an active member of the WWE roster and continues to entertain fans around the world. Some might say that choosing to become a professional wrestler over having a safe job working in finance is pretty dumb, but for Swagger it meant that he could have a chance at being successful in a profession he loves more than anything else. And if Swagger one day decides to stop wrestling, he at least has his Finance degree as a safety net. Thats some pretty smart thinking on the part of Mr. Swagger.
