My Mom Will Not Let Me Work At A Bar. What Is Wrong With Working At A Bar? 

Many people decide to work in bars- especially during University.

Bartending can be a very interesting trade to learn and can provide a cool and exciting work environment.

On the other hand, bar work also comes with its drawbacks, which this might be the reason your mom is so concerned.

My advice would be to find a bar that your mom would be likely to approve of, and take her there. Get her to see that not all bars are like the one in Coyote Ugly and she might view your decision in a different light!
What's wrong with working in a bar?

Coming from someone who's spent years on the 'other side' of a bar, I can tell you that it's not all fun and games. The truth is, it all really depends on the kind of bar you work at. Every bar will have it's pros and cons and, to be honest, bar work isn't for everyone.

Some negative points to working in a bar include:

• Late nights - Most bars don't close till 11pm. This can mean you won't be home 'til well past midnight. For late license bars, closing time can be as late as 3am on a weekend.
• No social life - Having to work late nights means you don't see much of people during the day. This can make having a relationship with someone quite difficult.
• The drunks - Working in a bar means being surrounded by drunk people every day. Most of them are just out to have a good time, but occasionally drunk people can turn abusive or aggressive. And if you're a girl working behind a bar, you may eventually get sick of drunk guys hitting on you.

Whether you want to use these points when trying to convince your mom is a different story!

There is nothing wrong with working in a bar, and if you are old enough to work in a bar, then you are old enough to make your own decisions and your mum can't stop you.:))
