Should I get a DEGREE in BUSINESS or HOTEL MANAGEMENT?

Question

I would like to make money WHILE doing something I love. Then, again who doesn't? Anyway, I would like to do something in tourism since I want to live in a vacation spot by the beach. The thing is I want to move back to my native country and I was thinking maybe hotel management? Or a resort management? If I am not going to make that much money, then should I get a degree in business instead and be the owner? You see, I was thinking that I will need money to do this so if I get a degree in hotel or resort management then I can work and make some money and possibly start my own business than? Which will be a smarter move?

-Getting a degree in hotel or resort management?

or

-Getting a degree in business


I mean I definitely know that I want to do something with hotels and hot vacation spots. Thanks

Answer 1

I would recommend a degree in business. Gives you more options than specialising in just hotel management. You could always do a post graduate course in hotel management later.
