Work your way up?
All depends on your experience, and if there are opening. The better bars and clubs have bartenders that keep that job forever because the tips are so good.
Find a bartender, ask him to take you under his wing as an apprentice (bribe him if you must).
Sounds like that should be pretty easy to accomplish. I don’t know about where you live but in my neck of the woods bartending jobs are pretty easy to get, especially the dayshift like you want. Now the bars in my area aren’t your 5 star New York night clubs. These are small town taverns and biker bars where working men go after work. But they are often short handed especially m-f days. That is because the good reliable people often have better jobs from m-f 9-5 and only bartend part time like i used to.
Would OP still be in a good spot even if he was a bar back or a busser?
Just because a woman listens to you and acts interested in what you say doesn't mean she really is. She might just be acting polite, while silently wishing that the date would hurry up and end, or that you would go away... and never come back.

Depends. We're talking about a normal city nightclub and not some small bar.
Yeah but that's the thing, me or no one really wants to bartend at the spotty places where the older sketchier folks gather. I don't necessarily want to bartend at a 5 star nightclub starting out either but any place where a reasonable number of hotter young women gather.
How does the apprentice thing really work? Usually I hear they start you out as barback or something and then maybe you can move up.
Channel your excited feelings into positive thoughts and behaviors. You will attract women by being enthusiastic, radiating energy, and becoming someone who is fun to be around.

Must be something dependent on city then. It seems like most of the bartenders I know are full time here in Atlanta, at least in Buckhead.
Yes you'll start off as a barback and he'll teach you the trick of his trade.
So when you say youth, how old is too old to really start the bartending aspirations? Seems like in my neck of the woods all bartenders are early 20s.Yes you'll start off as a barback and he'll teach you the trick of his trade.
The thing with bartending - it's an important position in a nightclub of which referrals are prized in order to get a job in a reputable establishment.
In my former nightclub, I hired 2 bartenders with 2 barbacks to cater to the crowds. It's when 1 bartender goes on leave (sick/awol/annual leave) that the apprentice gets his shot to shine.
Bartending skills is not the only criteria in keeping a bartender around, it's also his youth, attractiveness and ability to freely mingle/interact with patrons that comes to the bar.
A good bartender earns good tips.
Generally early 20's.
