[quote=Anonymous]I was part of the opening of major hotel franchise in Times Square (1983). Applied and hired before it opened. Worked full time as front desk clerk while also attending college full time. School 8-1, hotel shift 3-11. Not easy. Promoted to supervisor within 18 months. Salary 40k with unlimited potential and this was over 30 years ago! Got my degree and quit for delusional dream of becoming a sports broadcaster (I’m a woman). In the end, had a successful career unrelated to my major. Yet, I regret not staying in hotel mgmt field. Offered position to open a new hotel (Marco Island). If I had accepted, would have been GM and ultimately top corporate position, at a very young age. Probably would have opened a small boutique hotel. The hotel that I started with is still a top chain worldwide. Very generous company with incredible benefits and perks, then and now. It’s an excellent career path though more competitive now. Business mgmt/ entrepreneur/finance degree in tandem with hospitality mgmt, would cast a wider net of opportunity. As I understand, it’s still a work your way up and must work every department successfully (yup this includes housekeeping, bell staff, concierge, rooms control etc) to reach GM goal. [/quote]
