Why Being a Bartender

For a lifetime parents and society have taught us the same lesson:”get a degree, find a steady job and buy the house” without noticing that things in the last decade have changed.

Schools and universities have drastically lowered their standard of teaching entrusted to young people less tools than to be competitive in the labor market;
the world, and not least Italy are full beyond any need for doctors, lawyers and architects who, in the absence of work, have become unemployed with honors;
buy a house, as far as real estate prices have been lowered in recent years, it becomes difficult if you do not have a job and a salary with which to pay the rent at least.
The most serious modern-era economic crisis has revealed the shortcomings of the system and the lifestyle to which they are accustomed past generations. Companies in difficulty instead groped to initiate a revolution focusing on young people, for fear of worse things have continued to rely on themselves to blame for the crisis, clearly not solving their problems. The result of these “strategies” was that in 2014, according to ISTAT data, in Italy there were 1.47 million households (5.7% of the total) in absolute poverty, ie 4 million and 102 thousand individuals (6.8% of the total population), of which the majority consists of young people.

40,000 NEW BAR

While many companies have failed and whole sectors of business are literally disappeared, the other the world of bar and club has undergone a growth boom unprecedented. Only in 2015, again in Italy, and according to official data of Confesercenti, they were born more than 40,000 new bars that have brought a dowry tens of thousands of assumptions including bartender, bartenders and bar managers.

To confirm the “fashion” of the bars and the passion for cocktails in addition to the numbers, there are advertising spots and television programs with barman at the forefront, as a mixologist on the air for the second consecutive year on DMAX, where professionals from all over Italian challenge in the realization of the best alcohol mixtures.

Another very interesting figure is that in recent years the number of women who have entered into this field, mostly with particular success, has risen tremendously. Not infrequently, both in cafes and in purely nightlife, to play the bar service is the so-called barlady or barmaid.

WHY THE TREND OF BAR WILL CONTINUE TO GROW

Since ancient times, at least since it existed a concept of society between human beings, they were present for the exchange places – ie markets or “bazaar” – and eating places with the dual function of supply beverages and foods and allow people to be able to meet to talk about this and that. Parties and entertainment were on the agenda at the time of the Egyptians, and today things seem neither changed nor about to change.

In Italy, despite the crisis the populations in cities and small towns grow, it increases the amount of bars and clubs as a meeting place in which accommodate the food and social “needs” of all these people and, in return, increases the work for barman (or barlady, depending on the case), bartenders and bar managers.
