If you don't mind the hours involved for work, sure. But lucrative in the short run versus upward mobility is not there unless you have some amazing connection to eventually own the bar/club/restaurant/etc.

I thought about it when I was in University, then I developed a sleeping disorder. tongue

I've thought about getting mine for some extra cash, but my hearing isn't what it used to be and I'm worried that with bar noise I'd have trouble understanding customer orders.

For some quick fire cash its a good way to go. And with many states now not allowing smoking in bars its actually not that much of a health hazard anymore. I did it through university and it was great for that. But like the above have said long-term unless you have connections to ownership its not going to get you places. Makes a great skill for when you host house party's though.
