You might go into a career in Hotel Management and realize it just isn’t for you. With Human Resource Management, you’d be much more marketable, and still be able to go into Hotel Management if you wanted to.

As far as not needing a degree to go into Human Resources, that’s only true to an extent. Many people who work in Human Resources don’t have a degree, but their chances of moving up the corporate ladder and being promoted are not as great as someone who has a degree. One of my friends has a degree in Human Resource Management, and he got a position right out of Uni making 40K£ at a huge corporation. He says anyone without a degree could never get a job like that.

My advice would be to get a degree in HR. Not only is it more versatile, but you’d certainly be more marketable in an already competitive field.

For hotel management, you need to have really good people skills. You have to be patient because you are going to be dealing with a lot of nasty people that you have to help and show concern for.

Which job would you not mind getting up every day for?
