Before They Were They Were Famous: Worst Jobs of Country Stars

They might be big stars today, but there was a time they lived very humble lives and in honor of Labor Day, our friends at The Boot put out a list of the worst jobs 10 country stars had before they made the big time.

1. Dierks Bentley worked at Arizona's Lake Powell cleaning out 250-gallon portable toilets from rental houseboats. (I think this job is the absolute worst on this list!)

2. Johnny Cash picked cotton on his family farm when he was eight years old.

3. Trace Adkins had his forehead busted open by a snapped cable when he worked in the oil fields.

4. Reba McEntire helped her dad turn bulls into steers...if you know what I mean. And she started helping with that when she was a six-years-old working on her family's ranch.

5. Phillip Sweet of Little Big Town cleaned bathrooms at a Nashville mall.

6. Joe Nichols sold frozen meat out of the back of a truck.

7. Steve Earle worked at a car wash in Houston, Texas.

8. Faith Hill and Martina McBride sold T-shirts and merchandise at concerts and events.

9. Eric Church worked the midnight shift at a home shopping channel.

10. Kellie Pickler was a roller skating carhop at a Sonic drive-thru.
