Kendall Jenner sparks debate after sharing one job she’d quit modelling for
Kendall Jenner and modelling very much go hand in hand at this point, but she's admitted there is one career that would see her ditch the catwalk for good - and it looks like she's already making some moves.
It's no secret that The Kardashians star has found success in the world of modelling, having been plastered across campaigns for big-name fashion designers such as Givenchy, Chanel and Fendi and becoming a regular feature on the cover of glossy print.
In 2017, Kendall was named by Forbes as the world's highest-paid model and has continued to top the rankings in the years since.
But having been in the game since she was just 14, could it be time for a change for the 818 Tequila founder?

Speaking to Vogue for its October issue alongside fellow model Gigi Hadid, Kendall opened up about what the future holds for her and her plans to pivot away from the glitz and glamour of the runway.
But her comments have left people pretty divided, as some critics called her out on her privilege and accused her of being out of touch.
The 29-year-old confessed to Vogue that there's one career choice she currently has her eye on that would make her put modelling on hold - home design.
"I swear to God, I’m going to stop everything and just design homes," she admitted. "I love my space in LA, but I also really love the simple life. I like getting up every morning and throwing on a bathing suit or sweatpants and no makeup and just being free with my day."
However, she's keen not to run before she can walk.
"I think about the future a lot, but I try not to overplan because you know I’m a planner," she said.
While Kendall might be excited about her future plans, the same can't be said for some critics who called her out in the comments.
"She has the money to do it," one person pointed out.
"Easy to say with a bank full of [money emoji]," said another, while a third added: "Must be nice to have that level of privilege."
It wasn't all bad, though, as plenty of fans wished her luck on her endeavour, while others said 'good for her' and told her to 'go for it'.
"Good for her, do what you want and makes you happy," echoed another fan.
It's not the first time Kendall has floated the idea of swapping the runways for real estate, as she opened up about her love for renovating in an October 2022 episode of The Kardashians.
"As a model, I still don’t have much say in anything creative really. That has brought me to wanting to start this journey of house flipping," she told friend Fai Khadra.
"I found that I really do want to be my own boss and have my own ideas and execute them. I just feel like it’s new me.
"When I walk into a house, my wheels just kind of start turning, and I'm always like 'I could do this' or 'I could do that.'"
