An excellent article Mike! I’m currently 19 years old and looking to get into bartending. The atmosphere and excitement of having a job dealing with that many characters at all different hours of the night excites me to no end. I’m going to end up going to a bartending school in Orlando, mostly because the only other way to become a bartender here is starting as a busboy and staying there for 3+ years. My college tuition won’t pay for itself from a part time job pushing carts at Home Depot!

This is an excellent insight. I am in a similar position with similar opinions… 32 now and have been bartending full time weekends for just about 5 years now. Poise and politeness help on both sides of the exchange.
