How can I become a bartender without going to bartending school?

Believe it or not, some states REQUIRE licenses for many food and beverage positions. I suggest you start with your county health office. They should be able to tell you what the license requirements are - or should be for the county or counties or the cities you want to work in.

Get to know the bartenders in the establishments you're interested in working. Getting to know the managers also goes a long way. DON'T go in those places to get a buzz or get drunk.

The best days and times to do your networking are Monday through Thursday: 2 PM to 4:30 PM and/or 9:00 PM to 10 PM. AND/OR, depending on the bar and state law, 12:45 AM until closing. Sometimes they'll let you stay after closing, while they clean up and re-stock for the next business day.

Saturday: 11 AM to 11:45 AM. 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Sunday: Is a "pot luck" kind of day.

It all depends on how busy that bar is. Many times, you could go in at 11:00 AM and chat with the bartender until "the crowd" starts coming in for the ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
