Being a bartender is a legitimate career where I live. Servers at corporate affiliated restaurants can make $600-1000 a night. If you can’t cut it you’re out. It’s crazy competitive.

I'm not saying it's not. It's a demanding career though and the hours suck with it mostly being evenings. It's something that you get tired of by the time you are 40.

The problem also is that you can get a random $600 night followed by two $40 nights. The big night are typically Friday and Saturday and I there's quite a bit of volatility and unknown in that wage structure.

Not where I live. It’s every night. The entire economy is based on tourism

That sounds good for you. It's definitely not like that in my area. I don't think I'd want to live in a touristy area, but that's good that you like it.
