Question

Zippia Team · Accepted Answer

Yes, bartending is a good job. While it seems to pay less than other entry-level positions, most have reported significant happiness with the job itself. Many often take on bartending as a part-time position to either help with financial responsibility or to produce a revenue stream while they balance other career goals.

Some bartenders completely change their careers to become full-time bartenders because of the social atmosphere, good tips, and chance for advancement in the future.

Bartenders can gain benefits typically once they have gained full-time status. Bartending also seems to give a wider range of flexibility within the job's time commitment and other responsibilities.
