I lost my office job because of the mess on Wall St. I needed some quick training and friend of mine suggested I try bartending. I called the American Bartenders School and few days later I started class. I took the 40 hour class over 2 weeks and it was great. I was surprised how easy and fun it was. The instructors are cool and know their stuff. When I finished the class, the school's job placement department gave me leads on places that were hiring bartenders. It took me about a week to find a job. I went on 5 interviews before I found the right job. \r

If you're unemployed like I was and like working with people, you should consider bartending.
Pros: Like on the job training behind a real bar
