A friend recently joked that I spent so much time at a certain establishment that I was almost certainly common-law married to a bartender there. I wish. But I think being a bartender would be hard–you’re never home at night so you miss amazing shows; people are generally bad–but drunk people are worse; and trying to remember drink orders and recipes and all that business is just too much. Luckily, a lot of people don’t see it my way. According to this Dallas Morning News video, local bartending schools are experiencing a jump in enrollment, likely due to the uncertain economy. My favorite line here: “Your degree in this business is your smile.”
