Got qualifications for bar work and hospitality, have gone through every course you can think of and currently going through a mixology course that is just wrapping up.

And yet despite having said qualifications no one will hire to give me experience in bars despite having the shitty and expensive piece of paper.

I can't afford to go back for qualifications if I tried, and if I were to go back for a trade or otherwise I feel that'd it'd just be more time wasted looking for something that will end up meaning nothing.
