>>From what I know there's a 2 week bar school I can do where they basically just teach you how to make drinks and shit.
Those are always a scam, they're gonna charge you 200-500 bucks to
>teach you the "classic cocktails"
aka "shit you could've googled or made for yourself". No one will give you a job based on it, you'll usually need to barback and work your way up.

Because if you're asking this you're probably kinda retarded, I made you a shopping list assuming you've got like $200ish to spend. Buy anything you lack.
