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.
