Hi Scottie,
Thanks for your reply. I realize I've been gone for almost a month, but let's
just say making ends meet WITHOUT a second cash flow is quite taxing...
Hmm... I've gotten various responses. What I'll ask you is this: do you
recommend a two or three week course? Do those work? What credentials should
I look for or "warning signs" should I watch out for in bartending schools?
Thanks
Carlos
PS: how much can I realistically expect to make as a beginner per night?
