i have a friend who bartends and sometimes makes 400 to 500 dollars in tips in one shift...it might be worthwhile if you want to work your butt off.

@beermeplease That sounds pretty great money wise

@violentred yes it is. but if i could give you a piece of advice from all the conversations we had about his job, that if you do decide to become one start out at a smaller, less busy place to get some experience. if you started out at a fast paced place you'd be lost and wouldn't want to do it anymore...good luck and cheers

@beermeplease Makes sense I'd probably drown and be miserable. I used to wait tables at a bar so I have some knowledge.
