Don't waste your money on a "bartending" school!



I started in the bar bizz in 1982. I barbacked (assstant bartending) for 4 months, and then started getting bartending shifts. A couple of months later, I was bartending full time.



Every bar I worked at or managed would NOT hire anyone who mentioned a bartending school. They often believe the way they were taught is the ONLY TRUE way to bartend.Anyone know anything about bartending school?
I looked into going to bar tending school when I lived in Philadelphia, but was told going to school won't make getting a job any easier. One of my friends is a manager at a local bar and told me most places hire from in house. My advice is start working in a restaurant that serves alcohol and let management know you want to bar tend as soon as possible. And you should make good money after awhile. Good luckAnyone know anything about bartending school?
Some people do get jobs right out of bartending school
