bartending is not justa job . it is moe a hobby that pays off. the laws of zenbartending are very simple.
a good bartender makes a lot of money,
a bad bartender makes a good waiter,
and a bad waiter makes a good lemon.
flairing is awesome and i would suggest one on one trainig rather than videos or other stuff on the media. remember the dynamics of the bottle and not of the blonde on the other side of the bar and if you stuff always make a joke of it. i am in hospitality and good bartenders here can possibly make in excess of 100 grand a year. so go with blessings my son

I'm a bartender.You can make decent money but you can't make a career out of it.How many old bartenders do you see?It's best to go to college first and just make it a part time job so you will have something good to fall back on.

Depends where and when. In England they are always on crappy minimum wage, but in resorts, casinos cruise ships etc, if you are good at flair, you can make upwards of $35,000 US...

I swear. Bartending makes good money. Gets you more money if you're good at flairing. Gets you ALL the money if you're good looking. ;-).

Some do, and some don't. Depends on how well you make people like you, and how well you listen to other peoples problems. Have fun!

Having a good set of cans to pour with dosen't hurt your tip earning potential either!

it depends on which bar they work for. And tips from the customers would be higher if you know them well (at least by their name).
