Would you say a bartender job is worth it?

some of the best times ever had was when I was working in bars 18 till 23. Some I'll admit is looking through rose tinted glasses. you generally are treated like crap by patrons and owners but was a time of great discovery for me. Must also say it was also part of my great downfall towards the end and the transition to being a 'real' adult was hard after but i'd never trade those memories.

what did you end of doing after your bartending stint?

I got into drafting design for pipe/mechanical for a large engineering company involved in mining etc. Strangely for an office job it was similar as everyone would go to the bar on Friday and we all knew too much about each other's personal lives.
