In the event that I can't afford to go back to school next quarter, I've developed a plan B ( you always gotta have a plan b).
I would work full time at some local place, spending a several months working on my comedy material, saving up money, and paying off loans. After I have enough to get a piece of shit car, I will enroll in a bartending course in burbank. I will try to get work as a bartender, and do stand-up at local clubs to develop my chops... and maybe teach bass/guitar on the side. If the stand-up shit works out at all, I'll go with it. If not I stick with bartending and attempt to develop my art in other areas.
I know this sounds like a lousy way to go for most people, but its what I want, and that's all that really matters at this point. I realized that I am no longer a kid trying to please my parents or friends, I gotta do shit for me and me alone.
however, If I do end up going this route, some advice would help me avoid stepping in too much shit. So if you assholes have any stories or advice regarding bartending, comics, being a dirt poor artist, or whatever, lemme hear it.

So now you want to be a bartender/comedian?
Wow.
Anyway, here's the best advice I can offer: Bartending school is a joke. Skip it and just go get a job at a bar.

Bar comedy!
I knew one chick who went to bartending school -- like $400, I think -- got out, promptly got a job at a pretty decent bar in Hartford, and was managing it within the year.
On the other hand, she just may have fucked every supervisor in the joint, so... I guess you're good either way.

Here is some comedy advice, keep from posting random 4chan images during your routine.
Also, kickbans IRL tend to come with the weight of a fist.

best advice for the bar scene if you don't know it already check out the bars in your area and make sure they're not shit holes. Nothing turns a budding musician off working in pubs more than a bad run in places where people don't care about the music and just want to fight

You should combine your skills, and do music comedy.

Take qwerty's advice and be a budding musician that works in pubes.
Your roommate can give you training for free.

You should put together a few demo videos of your routine for us to grade. Go to bar tending school. I'm not sure about Cali but some states require a certification to work as a bartender at least in a decent bar, and thats where you'll make the decent money. I am getting ready to enroll myself just for the fuck of it.

Listen to Wrecker and fl_projekt bartending school is usually a waste of money. Do you have a good memory and know what different liquors taste like? Pick up a copy of Mr. Boston's and read it. Sit at all different types of bars to see what the trendy drinks are - if they're not in the book ask the bartender or try to figure it out on your own by watching their pours. Get real good at free pouring a shot - 1 1,000....3 1,000, and pucker up your lips because the nicer the place you get into the more ass kissing you,re going to have to do.
Or just apply to be a dancer at the local strip club, maybe they'll let you bartend a few nights a week if you let the manager give it to you up the ass.

| Sexual Asspussy | This is awesome.
This is the first pornsite I've found in years that I'd actually advertise to swarmers. When you first load it up, it looks just like every crappy scam site out there, except that it's real. It's huge, it's updated constantly, there's no spam, no popups, and no bullshit -- and it's completely free. When you sign up through that link above and respond to the confirmation email, I make a bit of loose change.
See what other swarmers have to say about it. People love this place, so I feel fine about sending you there and am confident you will enjoy boners.
