Bartenders and waitresses can have more income annually than dancers BUT they deal with more occupational injuries on the job, more backstabbing, and more stress than the average dancer.
I know what I'm talking about, I've waitressed, bartended and danced.
Also since the IRS has updated their information gathering- most workers at bars HAVE to report all tips. It's the best thing to do in the long run, but it might not be the right thing to do for any given person seeking a job in bartending.
Be warned, drunk patrons FEEL just as entitled to abuse a female bartender as they might feel entitled to assault a dancer. One of my personal names for hard liquor is "Liquid Stupid" because for a lot of mentally unwell people, the evil come out in them after 3-5 drinks. Trust me on this.
