Question

are chances of employment high
am i guaranteed of a job after i graduate

Answer 1

There is a lot of variables that could change this. But you could estimate earning about $30,000 + per year. Location, experience, hotel, etc. is all going to affect your wage.



Your degree is definately going to help you get the job. You will be looked at first over someone who does not have a degree. But, you can never be guarenteed a job. Are your chances better, definately, but you can never guarentee what will happen. The travel industry is booming right now, so you should not have a problem finding a job, especially in more tourist filled areas.

Answer 2

Median annual earnings of lodging managers were $37,660 in May 2004. The middle 50 percent earned between $28,640 and $51,030. This is according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.



Salaries of lodging managers are dependent upon the size and sales volume of the establishment and their specific duties and responsibilities. Managers may earn bonuses ranging up to 50 percent of their basic salary. In addition, they and their families may be furnished with lodging, meals, parking, laundry, and other services. Some hotels offer profit-sharing plans, tuition reimbursement, and other benefits to their employees.



Lodging managers held about 58,000 jobs in 2004. Self-employed managers—primarily owners of small hotels, motels, and inns—held about 45 percent of these jobs. Companies that manage hotels and motels under contract employed many managers.
