Is suggest not since some of the people get really drunk and often fight and, you might get caught in one if you ever be a bartender.

Answer 4

I went to the Texas School of Bartenders-Austin  . They have been around for a long time . All I can say is they hooked me up with 4 interviews while I was still in class . I finished my training with them 2 weeks ago August 8th and am working at Carlos and Charlies . There will be some people that tell you to barback and not to go to school . They did it to me . There is no way I could have learned what I did barbacking . I would not have the job I have either . Call up Jim Shearer or the instructor Malibu McMeill . They are real cool and know what they are doing .... Jeff clay

Answer 5

If that's the type of job you intend of having for a long time then you should! In a big city with many popular bars n pubs you can make a lot of money. But you will live in the night life, if your serious it would b good to have that under your belt! If you are in a small town it probably wouldn't matter, you won't make that much...
