what are some positives about hospitality management?

Answer 1

* There is a need everywhere. There are very few places that don't have hotels and eateries.

* At the management level, pay isn't so bad. At the elite level, pay is pretty good.

* There is a need everywhere.

* There is a need everywhere.

* You get to travel in many of these jobs.

* An MBA isn't required for the good jobs but having one makes you really valuable.

Some negatives - some of the best jobs are in seasonal locations. The coursework is often as hard as the work in some more lucrative fields. Entry level jobs don't pay very well.

Answer 2

Hospitality programs are very professionally oriented in nature. One of the best things about Hospitality programs is that they frequently incorporate one or more internships into their curriculums as well - in fancy restaurants, major hotels, and resorts. This kind of experience will serve you well in your first job and - probably more importantly - it will be a great help to you in getting your first job.
Hotel managers can feel great about their positions, create strong relationships with regular customers, and maintain an amicable working environment. those who can put up with the long hours, the high degree of responsibility, and the variety of tasks emerge with a solid degree of satisfaction and a desire to continue in the profession.
Five years into the job, satisfaction levels leap as hotel managers jump from job to job. Getting positions with increasing responsibility means two-to-three year stints at different hotels, learning a variety of skills-staffing, negotiation skills, event planning-and then moving on. The hours increase during these years, but few managers cite this as a downside. Their input on larger issues, such as hotel renovations and decor, begins to be taken seriously, depending on the individual manager’s relationship with the ownership. While many ten-year veterans have impressive resumes, few find cause to need them more than a few more times in their careers. As managers understand more and more about what type of hotel they like to run, they choose their positions more carefully. Tenure can run as long as twenty years at a single hotel. Hotel managers’ input is significant at this level; most systems have been adjusted to be efficient and responsive to management and client needs; satisfaction levels are high. Pay can become extremely competitive for those who have good relationships with regular, high-paying clients. A mere three percent of hotel managers who’ve survived ten years leave; many view this as a job for life.
