- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I bartended part time in college for one year and then went to grad school. While looking to start my career out of grad school, I thought bartending would be a good way to pay the bills. I now work for the DOD during the day and bartend at night for extra income. It is truly a hobby that pays! I like working private parties most of all, so that is why I started a freelance business.
