Country Stars Worst Jobs Before Becoming Famous
It's Labor Day Weekend. What do YOU Labor at? I used to work for an explosives company for 2 years as a licensed explosives technician. We blew up a lot of things like road cuts, rock quarries and underground mining projects, like the silica sand mines in Wisconsin. It was a BLAST! HA!
What's the most unusual or most hated job you've ever had? My worst was when I sold cars for 2 months. It was a real high pressure job and I always felt bad. Now, things are pretty laid back.
In honor of Labor Day, TheBoot.com put out a list of 10 Country Stars' Worst Jobs before they hit it big. Here's the list:
1. Dierks Bentley worked at Arizona's Lake Powell cleaning out 250-gallon portable toilets from rental houseboats.
