As a teenager, Martina McBride worked at Dairy Queen. Before getting signed, she worked selling t-shirts for Garth Brooks at his shows.

Sara Evans worked as a waitress in Nashville before getting signed, and before moving to Nashville she used to work at KFC. A few years ago she made a joke that she's still greasy from that job.

Johnny Cash was also a door-to-door salesman for a short time back in the 1950s.

Yes, that's true. At one time, he was also a waterboy.
