Khloé Kardashian has held several different jobs 

When KUWTK first premiered, Kardashian was working at her family’s boutiques, DASH and Smooch. In fact, she has revealed many times before that she initially decided to film KUWTK as a way to promote the businesses.

Then, Kardashian became a TV personality. She appeared on KUWTK for 20 seasons as a main cast member and even participated in its various spinoffs, such as Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami and Khloé & Lamar. Additionally, Kardashian has had hosting opportunities as well, like on the show Revenge Body.

Thanks to her popularity, Kardashian also became a social media influencer. She has sponsorship deals with many different brands and promotes them on her profiles.

In 2016, Kardashian launched a fashion brand called Good American. It started out as a denim line selling jeans in inclusive sizes before expanding to other types of clothing.

Why Khloé Kardashian’s parents made her get a job as a teenager

Kardashian has been working for many years now. When she was in high school, her parents urged her to get a job as well.

As Kardashian shared on the podcast Role Model, she attended Alexandria Academy, which is different from a traditional school. The academy gives students one-on-one attention, and this allowed Kardashian to thrive. She eventually graduated early and with honors.

At Alexandria Academy, Kardashian had a lot of time outside of school, so her parents made her get a job.

“My parents were like, “Okay, if you’re gonna not be in a full-time school, you have to work,” she explained. “So it wasn’t like a free-for-all.”

Kardashian shared that she got a job at a clothing store called Magnolia in Calabasas, California. She said, “I cleaned the backroom, and that was my job.”
