I just dropped out of LA Tech and im looking for a job. I've noticed that most of the guys that fix my coffee at coffee shops seem to be pretty high on life, so I thought I may give it a try and possibly make a career out of it. Any tips on how to become one?

Ima guess you basically just need some good shoes that will let you stand all day and you will be good to go...

I think they tend to be more liberal arts school dropouts. I'm not sure being a drop out of a bad LA public U has the same hipster cache

I think if you can take more than the tip that qualifies you.

Probably a bunch of neck beard virgins so you're halfway there

I worked at CC's all 4 years in college. It's a pretty easy job. If you work in a college town, the pussy you can pull is awesome. It can be a little stressful if you work in a high volume shop. People are pissy about coffee these days.

Just apply at any one of the thousand locations and if you're not a retard, you should get a job.
