Becoming a bartender?
I'm kinda at a impasse of what to do with my life, and being a bartender is something I've always been interested in. I just want to know what sort of training I should go through or if it's possible to get an entry level position as a bartender. Any advice would be great!

Hello,
Most bartenders don’t complete formal training for their jobs. Bartenders may teach themselves or learn on the job by working as a bartender helper or assistant.
Some bartenders go to bartending schools to receive their initial training. Bartending schools exist across the United States, and experts recommend choosing one that is licensed by your state’s department of education and offers programs that take at least 40 hours to complete.
