The 46-year-old admitted that her dad tried to convince her to get a different job because she hadn't landed a role.
She told InStyle magazine: "There was a time when my dad thought I should get out. It was right before I got Friends, and I probably had a month to go before I was completely broke.
"At one point my dad called me and said, 'You have always been a great salesman. I think it's time you come home and sell swimming pools.'"
The actress confessed that there are other jobs she would like to do.
She said: "I don't think I would ever quit acting, but there are other things I am interested in. I wanted to be an architect, and I wish I knew more about landscaping. I think I'd be a good therapist too. Maybe I could start a little group therapy thing."
