Does anyone else here have a hospitality management degree? Do you think it was worth it?

I do - it depends a lot of places want you to have that degree but I’ve found that in hospitality its all about experiences. A girl I have worked with is much higher up than me at the same age because she had 4 years more experience right away than I did. I think it’s important to have it but also try to get as much experience as possible while getting your degree

I have a hospitality management degree and I absolutely think it was worth it. The skills and knowledge I gained in school have helped me immensely in my career. I've been able to work in a variety of roles within the hospitality industry, and I know that I wouldn't be as successful if I didn't have my degree.

I think it was worth it for me because it gave me a strong foundation in the business world. I've been able to use the skills I learned in my job, and I've also been able to continue learning about the industry.

I lateralled into biglaw from a compliance job a couple of months ago because I was given a "too good to be true" opportunity (2 years out of law school), and I have regretted it ever since. Has anyone successfully left biglaw after one year and gone in house or boutique? (Please no nasty comments, we all make mistakes when that much money is involved). I can afford the pay cut thankfully, just worried about the ability to find work.

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.
