I had a mentor when I was a young bartender that I looked up to, and he told me not to be a one-trick pony. Learn all styles of bartending and you will always have a job.

I hold that statement still today very close, as I have worked in every style and am always learning and trying to make myself and those around me better.

If you love it, bartending is something that you start and will never finish, because there is so much to learn.
