I was thinking about getting a job as a Front Desk Agent at a hotel, and was wondering how much money do they earn?

Depends if it is a union house or not..Non union frond desk agents can get paid anywhere from $8 and up (like the other answer states, it depends on the size of the hotel and if it is a casino/hotel). Union employees of course start higher usually $14 and up. I know some front desk agents that are over $18 (but they have been working at the same union property for over 10 years).
Typically Casino/Hotels pay more, because they have more. As a manager I can tell you that what you will need on your application is cash handling experience, and some type of customer service (fast food, wal-mart, retail). These are the types that will get called for a interview.

It is really good to have goals, but you are not talking about a personality type. You are talking about a lack of confidence in your abilities when it comes to speaking English. This is something completely different, and I would recommend getting more confident in English first. This way you can walk in to a hotel job with a great benefit, and that is being bi-lingual. A lot of hotels love it when a person can speak several languages it makes a person more unique, and versitile. Working the front desk or any customer service job requires confidence, learning attitude, motivation, patience, and most important initiative. These are skills people must have, and it can not be taught you simply have to be this type of person. Shyness is a shell easily broken, and I think you will find the hospitality industry offers many training classes to help with that type of personality. However all the rest that I have listed above cannot be trained, and who ever interviews you, you will find the interview to extensive, will be able to spot any of those weaknesses right away.

Before you are there, you need to know how to get there.
Front Desk clerks in the nicer hotels are hard to get. You need background in the business.
Getting your foot in the door at an off strip joint is easier. Plus it helps to know the town and the property.
Really helps if you know someone in the hotel or concierge association

Generally around 11-12 per hour, more if you have experience.
