What salary/benefits can one expect with a Hospitality Management degree?
Asked by C.H.
I will be graduating from Virginia Tech next year with a B.A. in Hospitality Management (concentration in hotel and restaurant operations). What is my career outlook? What lifestyle can I expect? What entry level salary will be offered and can I negotiate for?

Best Answer:
I worked for ten years in the hotel industry (and my wife still does), and you can expect to have no life! You will enter as an assistant manager, and be expected to work every lousy shift imaginable. Restaurant companies pay better than hotels ($60,000 v. $40,000) and generally speaking the benefits are better as well (though still not that great). However, rooms division operations of a hotel (which was my area of expertise) is fun and intense. Good luck!
