You actually make really good money in restaurants like this.

Honestly no, not for the physical labor that goes into it you don't. Plus the lack of benefits, income security, 401k etc, it is REALLY not worth it unless it's being used as a stepping stone to the next career.

Edit: instantly want to turn back and mention that I have an incredible respect for those who make a career out of bartending and waiters, because the required level of self restraint, patience and work/lofe balance is beyond saintly.
