You can try working as an non-experienced bartender........ but it will be hard to find someone to hire you, and if you find a job, you will have to work a lot for small salary......your choice.



You can take it as a learning period.....that you also get paid a little for......later, you will be able to write on your resume.....experienced bartender.



PS.....I've heard , for example , that Pizza Hut are hiring bartenders and do not ask for experience or any kind of certificate......but I don't know if it's the kind of bar tending that you are interested in.

Bartending school is a rip off. Find a place that is willing to teach you as you work. Hands on is the best teacher in that trade. I was lucky. At 21 I went to work for a restaurant with a service bar, and the head bartender worked with me. After that I worked all over. Even had my own bar at one time. Great Job if you don't mind listening to someone else's problems all night. Good money too!
