Karaoke Bar?
I’m not sure I want to open a karaoke bar anymore. I talked to a few friends and I’m pretty convinced that it won’t be a good idea, because people go to bars to socialize-not sing. Besides, the crowd I’m aiming for-college kids- really don’t dig karaoke that much, well the majority: The Asian crowd is crazy about karaoke but that’s less than 20% of the population.
I still want to start a bar though! I’m 100% sure I don’t want to work for a corporation after college. I don’t like taking orders, or working under somebody. It really sounds like I’m a really stuck-up person, but I’m not! I have plans in the future to travel around the world, and working 9-5pm isn’t going to cut it. The average salary for an undergrad is 46k with benefits. I’ll admit 401k plans are badass, but I don’t like the fact that I’ll be earning 30k+ after tax. That’ll take me years to earn enough money to live out my dreams! I don’t feel like climbing the corporate ladder either, that’ll take forever; by the time I’ll be 40, I’ll be making 100k, how wonder.
Bar is a perfect business for me to start. I like drinking, hanging out with people, and staying up late. Yeah, I know I won’t be as much fun as I think it is, but I’ll be ready for it. Time to use my accounting, financing, marketing, and website skill to start a killer bar! I’m estimating I’ll start it next year, which will give me enough time to read and learn how a bar works. I don’t even know any mixed drinks yet!
Wish me luck.
Yeah.

“I don’t like taking orders…”
Wouldn’t you be taking orders in the bar all the time?
Just an observation.
Good luck with the bar and definitely do learn to mix drinks or hire someone who can.
Oh, you got me there.
I guess when I’m thinking of taking orders, I mean working for somebody else. I really don’t minding serving people, but I just don’t like somebody telling me what to do. If that makes any sense.
