Bartending salaries vary by region, but a bartender in today's economy can expect to earn a salary that is above that of most entry-level college graduates. In addition, most of these entry-level positions with large corporations require more extensive (and expensive!) education, and entail working many more hours each week. Best of all, the course will pay for itself in as little as three shifts!
In addition, many larger bars and restaurants offer full benefits for employees, and bartenders working for major hotels or airlines often receive additional perks like greatly reduced lodging and airfare.
Bartending allows people the freedom to choose a work environment that matches their personality. A good bartender can work anywhere in the country, or in the world! Some bartenders might prefer the hotel or country club environment, while others enjoy the charm of neighborhood bars, or the excitement of fast-paced nightclubs. Whatever your preference, bartending can offer fun & profitable surroundings
