Where are the best jobs in hotel management %26amp; how much do they make?
One of the greatest aspects of hotel management is that YOU can choose where you want to be, and rest assured that there will be work there for you. Of course, the larger the city, the more opportunity for growth and development.





In hotel management, the most important element to your growth will be EXPERIENCE. Therefore, getting a four-year degree in hotel management will not be as helpful as four years of experience, but the combination of both degree and experience is very powerful. If you decide to get a degree without getting experience, plan on starting at the bottom of the ladder when you are done.





Knowing this, the best places for jobs are those that receive the most tourism/travel business- Las Vegas, New York, Chicago, LA, for example. But there are also great opportunities in smaller areas that rely heavily on tourism: National Parks, Ski Areas, etc. As I said before, choose where you want to go, then look for jobs there.





Hotel management salary is average. You WILL NOT become a billionaire in hotel management, but you will also not suffer. Salary ranges from about $25,000 for a small (50 room hotel) to 6 figures for very huge hotels. This amount does vary widely based on your location, of course.





Hope this helps, and here is a link for more info:

Reply:I would have to agree with the posted comments. A bit of advise. With operations management, there will be much more hands-on work required with weekends and holidays required until you reach an upper management position within a full service establishment. Report It

Reply:There will be difficult moments with staffing, revenue, and customer service but there will also be very rewarding experiences when you are able to go that extra mile for an appreciative guest or staff member. Report It

Reply:I cannot stress enough the importance of customer service quality and experience when in operations management and this will ultimately make or break a career. Report It

Reply:If you are interested in a more selective schedule and refined job requirement, then sales would be more suited for you.


Although not as demanding as operations management, your schedule and area of expertise will be more desirable. Report It

Reply:However, keep in mind that you will be required and expected to meet your goals and it can get pretty cut-throat with minimal margin for mistakes or loss of sales opps. Report It

Reply:Whatever your decision, as the previous posting suggested, Experience in the industry will get you MUCH further than book learning. I would suggest breaking in to a Front-of-the-house position ASAP. Report It
