im looking to go into bartending, my sister suggested i do it since im looking for something more exciting, im 19 in a few days so i can serve it. but does anyone know any good bartending schools in central NJ? should i even bother? are there any alternative ways to get my license to serve? if i do get it, is it easy to get hired? is this even a good business to get into? is the money good?
please, give as much detail as possible!

Listen to Shelly K...
She hit the nail on the head.
Bartending schools are a scam, start as a barback.

You don't need a license to bartend, but you do have to be 21. Don't waste your money on a "bartending school." If you want to bartend, start off at a dive bar and go from there. Yes, it is good money, but I wouldn't plan on doing it forever. It does get to be a drag, and it is very unstable work. They are always hiring because they are always firing. Don't look in the paper, just go to the bar.
