Travel agent Samia Smith?
Monday, 8 September 2008
Samia Smith was encouraged to become a travel agent when she was at school.
The 26-year-old - who plays hairdresser Maria Connor in 'Coronation Street' - always harboured dreams of becoming an actress, but her school careers advisor told her she would be more suited to the less glamorous job.

Samia said: "I wanted to be an actress when I was growing up - but during my careers lessons, it was revealed that my ideal job would be a travel agent.
"I reminded my careers teacher of that when I went back to school the other week!"
Although the actress claims she never really got into trouble when she was a student, she did reveal one naughty habit.
She said: "I never did anything major - just talking in class. I used to get in trouble a lot for that, actually!"
Samia claims she was never that interested in boys when she was at school, adding she always had her eye on an older man.
She revealed: "There was a big group of us, and we were all quite girlie, running around and doing dance routines.
"I never went that mad for boys at school - they always seemed a bit daft. Ronan Keating was the love of my life in those days!"
