Bartending is the Most Awesome Job Ever!
You purchased my bartending course – or you jumped into the Free Basic Bartending Course. You’re here. Obviously, that tells me that you want to be a bartender. Maybe you need a part-time job. Or, you just turned 21 and want to live a crazy life for a while. That’s what I did. There are so many advantages to being a bartender that you may not be aware of. Let me explain.
The Money is Great
To me, working the least number of hours and making the most money possible is where it’s at. Full disclaimer here: This may not happen on your very first bartending job. But, if you follow the plan laid out in my course here, you will eventually land that “almost perfect” job. And, it takes a lot less time than you might think.

Flexible Hours
Going to school? Juggling family responsibilities? Trying to pad the 401K? Bartending is for you. Once you begin to understand that there are so many types of bars, bartending jobs, and different areas of your city to work in – you’re never without a job. And, with just a few months of experience – you’re golden.
You Don’t Need a License
You can work anywhere in the country, and once you get a little bit of experience you increase your chances of getting hired 10-fold. And, if you really like “craziness,” you’re in the right job.
Meeting People
Good people. Business contacts, future good friends – maybe a life partner. And, there’s no getting around this, if you’re into “hook-ups,” you probably found the right job. Listen, I was in my twenties at one time – I know what it’s like. Just be careful. More on that later in the course.
The Possibilities are Endless
If you read about my history of bartending in “Mark’s Story,” you’ll realize that knowing how to tend bar can be a lifelong asset.
