one of my best friends in Chicago when I was younger would work at a downtown bar...and he was phenomenal...as a bartender (Crobar - terrible bar)...and make $1000+ per night.
Quit.
Said the drug scene was going to kill him...would always get coked out of his mind with the rest of the staff...
but he was literally the best bartender I ever worked with...just phenomenal. Fast, efficient, amazing personality...
so if you can handle not succumbing to peer pressure there is plenty of potential to make a shit ton of money
shit, I cleared 50K when I was 22 working at Bennigan's in Chicago
worked my ass off, worked the busiest days, and worked as much as they let me
it's not something you can make a career out of
it's a 20-30 year old job...once you hit 30, and if you're still doing it, you're just going to hate yourself
