is 39 too old? 15 Years, 4 Months ago Karma: 0  
I was thinking about going to bartending school and asked a friend who manages 4 bars and he told me:

QUOTE:
I will be honest we are too old for the bartending game. Managers want young and hot chicks back there. Anyplace that would hire us we do not want to work at. The money can be GREAT if you can land a good place, but landing that job is near impossible............No body is going to hire a new graduate from the academy at 40 years old. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, unless you have an in someplace the academy is worthless. They teach you how to cut limes. A monkey can pour drinks, it is the personality and organization that makes a bartender. Unfortunately now days it is also primarily for HOT YOUNG CHICKS with out any brains. When was the last time you frequented a bar with a 40 year old dude behind the bar? There are a few places but not many


So my question is can anyone refute what he is telling me? I need a regular job...that I can live on...not an occasional wedding job!
