It depends where you live. Where I live you can tend bar if you are 18 years old or better. However some bars will train as you work and others won't look at your resume unless you've gone to bartending school.
I never did. Bartending is easy as long as you can deal with drunk people without geting frustrated. I go by the rule if someone cant tell you what is in thier drink they dont need it.
