As a former bartender for ten very long years, I can tell you that the job has it's ups and downs. Yes it is fun and you get to meet lots of interesting people, it's a great way to socialize and it's fun because you are around people who, for the most part, are having a good time. On the down side, some people get arrogant when they drink. Some like to fight, which is always a pain. As a bartender, you are legally responsible if someone leaves the bar after they have had too much to drink and gets into a wreck which could leave you open for a lawsuit. It's alot of responsibility, as well.
Been there, done that.
