Bartending School, weekend warrior gig??

[The_flying_dutchman]

Call me silly, but while I'm still young (sorta) I'd like to pursue a side gig as a bartender.

don't get me wrong, I make 90K a year at my job as a corporate accountant.

But I've always had this childhood fantasy of working a bar and meeting trashy women, biker gangs, thugs, low lives, prostitutes, etc...


Do you guys have any recommendations on which school to attend?

Also, I should probably say that I know nothing about alcohol since I don't even drink.

You have enough money to buy a bar.

Yeah, something doesn't compute.

90K in CA, after taxes really aint much. Its not about money, its about a childhood fantasy if working in a seedy bar and meeting shady people.

Bartending is a great job. But watch working dive joints if you're lucky enough to make the jump from b'tending school to working.

It's one of the most dangerous jobs there is because in a lot of places you are a de facto bouncer and are often the person in charge of a lot of cash.
