Hmm... is there some prequalifing criteria for whether it is acceptable for 
someone to try to become a bartender? He went to a school, wants to find his 
own gigs - he's showing initiative... It seems strange not to be supportive on 
this forum, considering how everyone, at some point in their lives, didn't 
have experience to do whatever they wanted to do. Whether or not a person goes 
to bars, or even *drinks alcohol at all*, doesn't mean they can't be a good 
bartender... right? ;)

In fact, there was one thread on this forum that suggested that working 
private events was a good way to get experience early on, so this guy is even 
headed in the right direction, though maybe not with the "BS" part.

As a non-bartending drink enthusiast, I can understand where he's coming from 
- I enjoy making drinks for people at parties and at home... serving drinks 
professionally would likely be even more rewarding, or so it would seem after 
lurking on these forums for a while.
