Description : Have you been a bartender?

Last Answer : answer:In college, a long time ago - I had just graduated and it was a summer job before grad school.

Description : Where can I get a "novelty" id?

Last Answer : That sort of sounds like a stupid idea. It's not like using a fake ID to buy alcohol where it would simply be brushed off or you'd get a slap on the wrist - using a fake ID to get a job is very ... could get you in prison and ruin your credit rating if you get caught. I don't think it's worth it.
