You might not be aware -- but there's lots of types of bars between fine restaurants & college bars. You may want to reconsider where you hang out. The bar/restaurant I worked at required a lot more including, as mentioned before, dealing with drunken a-holes.
And btw, I was a bartender many years ago. I earned more in 4 months of partying and carousing with the customers than my annual income for my first 5 years with a “real job”.
In other words, you were a crappy employee?
Did I touch a nerve, or are you always rude?
FYI, I performed my job well and was tipped generously for it. Nevertheless, I’m willing to recognize that it didn’t require much learning or intelligence.

Notwithstanding your condescending remark, who’s talking about college bars? I’ve been to bars ranging from utter dives on up to the Plaza Hotel. I contend that except for high-end restauants and bars (where they earn their money), the bartenders in your typical neighborhood establishment know all they need to know after a week on the job.
