I've been a natural bartender since i could legally drink and realized in the 
past year that this is my desired career path.  This is exactly what i want to 
do.  I make great drinks and I've done tons of freelance bartending for free 
just because i love it so much.  Watching people's faces light up when they 
take their first sip is my favorite part:) This past year, i went to this 
bartending school.  I learned so much, but a two week course turned into six 
months.  I took the final several times and started noticing that they would 
mark questions wrong then contradict themselves in class the next week.  
Talking to other students the general consensus was that no one passes unless 
the instructor has a good day.  I put so much time and effort in this.  I 
studied so many hours every week.  By the time i was burnt out on this, we 
moved.  It was all right for a while, but now i actually have to work for 
money.  Long story short, my husband and i are separating.  I know i just need 
to pound the pavement being very confident and entertaining.  Showing people 
what i know.  It's been hard enough getting my first bartending job, then life 
just smacks me in the face.  Any advice or tips? Anything for this newbie 
would be appreciated:)
