They say you have to wade through rubbish before you become a star, and it looks like Dierks Bentley had a very messy career before finding fame as a country star - he drained sewage from boats.
The 33-year-old boasts two platinum albums and a huge following - a far cry from his previous job, which often left him covered in human waste.
Bentley explains, "The weirdest job I had was working on a houseboat where I had to pump out the portable toilet. The equipment would sometimes backfire - pretty gross."
Well good things come to those who wait…
