Brett Young has been working since before he graduated high school.<\/p>\n
He remembers his first job, and he also remembers how once he decided music was the career he wanted, he was willing to work any job to make that happen.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy first job job was the summer before my senior year I started working construction. And then I went away to college and then I came back that next summer, and then I got the opportunity to go work for this restaurant, but as like a busboy, and then I worked my way up to waiter. So, anything from construction to waiting tables to busing tables to bartending, even all the way up until I moved to Nashville, I was still bartending in Santa Monica. I was willing to do any of that as long as it provided me the opportunity to still pursue music.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brett Young has been working since before he graduated high school.","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":33402,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"Yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[335,6548,4063],"class_list":["post-45152","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-country-music-news","tag-brett-young","tag-job","tag-labour-day"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-11 04:09:45","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/country929.com\/blogs\/country-music-news\/2025\/08\/how-brett-young-worked-his-way-to-being-a-country-music-star\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45152","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45152"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45152\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":45153,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45152\/revisions\/45153"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33402"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45152"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45152"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45152"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
