1. It's easy to wake up and get to work in the morning.

There is a 100 percent guarantee that coffee will be there.

2. Everyone is happy to see you, no matter what.

You're automatically everyone's savior at 7 a.m. on a Monday morning.

3. You're only one step away from being a bartender.

Mixing drinks, getting tips and hearing people's life stories is close enough right?

4. You can take your barista skills anywhere.

Even the darkest and dullest places have coffee shops...I hope.

5. Customers usually tip at least $1 per drink...

Sometimes even when the drink is only $1.25.

6. You can never get tired at work.

You're literally surrounded by caffeine.

7. You can easily make someone's day.

Everybody loves when the barista knows their name and "usual."

8. You can taste test your progress.

There's always room for improvement and a constant craving for coffee.

9. You'll meet some very interesting people.

You'll meet locals you've never actually talked to, old people who'll lecture you for hours, hipsters who bring their own coloring books, etc.

10. You can drink some coffee and relax on a slow day.

You can maybe fit in a crossword puzzle or a good read.

11. There's coffee shop music.

This means there are good vibes, even if it's just a Pandora station.

12. There are a wide variety of teas to try...

After a cup or five of coffee, of course. Heads up: Yerba Mate tastes like grass.

13. It allows you to be creative.

It's a great way to espresso yourself.

14. You can experiment and find out what's good and what makes you wanna throw up a little.

I absolutely do NOT recommend a mango mocha.

15. ALL THE COFFEE YOU WANT...

(or at least a discount).
