DJ-ing

You can't just start doing it to get paid. You need to actually already have skills to do it for a living & you have to be good too & popular. It takes time to build a name for yourself.

But if you're just looking for a new hobby then this might be it. If you've already learned some DJ-ing skills in the past, then you can probably start doing some free gigs & then work your way in for paid ones once people know who you are.

Looking for a cool job? Try Waitressing/Bartending

Thinking of switching jobs/career or are currently unemployed in this economy? Then why not try something new! Perhaps you've only worked retail & are tired of it & there are probably not as many retail jobs these days & they don't really pay well either. Or perhaps you just got layed off & not doing anything anyways. Waitressing & bartending could be tiring w/ long hours, but if you only work part time then there's less stress & you'll actually have fun doing it!

The base pay for waiters/waitresses & bartenders/bartend-esses(lol) is not that much, even less than retail, but sometimes tips can be a lot depending on which place & area you work at & who you serve.

Smart Serve
You need this course/license if you want to work as a waitress/bartender at a restaurant/lounge that serves alcohol. You might not need it to get hired for a waitressing job at a restaurant that serves liquor, but you'll get higher chances of getting hired if you have it already. Every job has competition these days.
Smart Serve is required for all alcohol beverage servers including bartenders.

Bartending Certification Course
Only takes 2wks.
