Can I do Bartending as my first career while I'm in school to be a nurse?

Question

I live in Texas and the legal age to bartend is 18. Once I get out of high school, I'm interested in bartending until I'm done with medical school or something like that. I don't see what's the problem but I just wanted to make sure. Can someone please let me know?

Answer 1

If is what you like go for it. Sounds like a reasonable plan, just take your education seriously and be very careful about the people you meet in the bar you work at. Always remember your education comes first. Good luck!

Answer 2

There is no problem at all.  In fact, it can be a very good way to get you through college.  Just remember, bartending means typically late nights, so leave plenty of time for study and later in the day classes.  Good luck.

Answer 3

That sounds good this way if there is a medical emergency at the bar you can always help (it is bound to happen), sounds like a good place to work during your medical training
