Freedom
Never think about working 9 to 5 again. You have the freedom to sleep until 2 o’clock if you feel like it. It’s amazing to almost never have to set an alarm clock. Your work shifts are almost never eight hours, they generally top out at six. So you end up making twice the cash in half the time. Tell that to all of your friends slaving away at a desk eight hours a day.
Flexibility
You can get a full-time job at a bar or night club and make a ton of money - or hire out your services part-time for banquets, weddings, parties, etc. You are free to work as much as you choose; you have the flexibility to work wherever and whenever you feel like it.
Meeting People
Behind the bar, you meet huge, diverse groups of people every night. Whether you're looking to make more friends, hook up with girls or guys, or network and make business connections - being a bartender allows you to do this.
You Get Free Stuff
Everyone wants to be cool and know the bartender. Everyone likes to feel special and have a “hookup” wherever they hang out. I can't even begin to tell you how much free stuff people offer me... from designer watches, to NBA tickets, to free drinks at other bars. It's unbelievable!
Travel
As a bartender, you can easily travel wherever you want without ever having to worry about landing a job. Want to go backpack Europe for a year? Want to go live in an exotic travel destination? Hawaii? Aruba? Jamaica? Las Vegas? Knowing how to bartend gives you the freedom to work anywhere. The travel possibilities are endless.
Skills
Becoming a bartender may not be a lifelong career for you, but the skills you'll develop tending bar will benefit you down the road immensely. The situations you find yourself in while bartending will boost your confidence, problem solving abilities, personality and salesmanship - all skills that will help you for the rest of your life.
