should i take the bachelor degree in hotel management or human resource management?

Question

i have heard both pros and cons of both majors. now im having a real hard time to deside which one i i should take.
my opinion is : Human Resource Management would get better salaries, but would it be required to get higher degree (MBA??) in order to get a good position in HRM and as well as a good salary?? also i've heard that you dont even need a degree to get a job in HRM? is that true?
as for Hotel Management, i am not sure i'd like to deal with all kinds of custumers, i am not a very good at being patient. but would there be more job opportunities than HRM?

anyways, i would go for the one with good salary and good job opportunties regardless of anything.

any suggestions would be a great help to me now. thanks!

Answer 1

Personally I'd take Human Resource Management.

You might go into a career in Hotel Management and realize it just isn't for you. With Human Resource Management, you'd be much more marketable, and still be able to go into Hotel Management if you wanted to.

As far as not needing a degree to go into Human Resources, that's only true to an extent. Many people who work in Human Resources don't have a degree, but their chances of moving up the corporate ladder and being promoted are not as great as someone who has a degree. One of my friends has a degree in Human Resource Management, and he got a position right out of Uni making 40K£ at a huge corporation. He says anyone without a degree could never get a job like that.

My advice would be to get a degree in HR. Not only is it more versatile, but you'd certainly be more marketable in an already competitive field.

HRM is the one but you need to instill patience in yourself. It's a necessary quality. Hotel Management is OK but tends to be a job where you are waiting for an existing manager to retire or die. Also it's a 24 hour a day job, even if you're not on duty, you're still responsible.

Answer 3

You should pick something that's going to make you happy. It's no use picking either one of them if your aren't going to love your job. A good salary is going to mean nothing if you don't like it.
For hotel management, you need to have really good people skills. You have to be patient because you are going to be dealing with a lot of nasty people that you have to help and show concern for.
Which job would you not mind getting up every day for?

Answer 4

Stick with the HRM unless you want your job to your life. Take from someone in the Hotel Industry.

Answer 5

Human resource management possibilities outside the hotel industry, but skills you could use within it.
