You could get a front desk job while going to school. Hotel management by itself is fine, but to get a comprehensive picture of what you deal with in terms of customer demands, property maintenance issues, etc, you should definitely apply at hotels. Keep in mind, though, that the cheaper the motel or hotel rates, the dumber and more sleazy the clientele becomes.

Btw, it would help if you learn Japanese or Chinese plus Spanish. It might also help if you live overseas for a couple of years after college just to broaden your cultural horizons. Believe me, this helps in the hotel business A LOT.

I worked in the hospitality industry for a couple of years. It's definitely not easy and there tends to be a lot of turnover of GM's. I wouldn't call it the most stable way to make a living. If you would be so disposed, you might think about the healthcare field instead, especially nursing, since there is a shortage right now. Much more stable, fewer day to day headaches and it pays very well with full benefits.

Whatever you decide, good luck.

You should start applying at your hotels near you. Start at the bottom cleaning, laundry you do all that before you become a manager youll be a better manager because youll no what it takes to do it.

start by applying to your local hotels,. That will at least get your foot in the door. If you put on your resume your currently taking a hotel management course in college they might be more intersted.

Hope this helps:)
