I’m early in my hospitality career and planning to start a Hospitality Management diploma (part time, still want to work full time) later this year. I’m trying to decide between a luxury-brand role with less leadership (like Fairmont Gold Supervisor) or an Assistant Manager role at a 5-star hotel with more responsibility but less luxury focus. My long-term goal is luxury hotels internationally. Curious what others would choose or what you feel would be a better decision

If your long term goal is a luxury establishment, then get your foot in the door at a luxury hotel now. It’s better that you start getting experience. Does the luxury hotel is pay better?

The pay is slightly less but comparable. It would be an hourly position vs a salaried position

I would go the luxury route because it seems like the most promising career trajectory for what you want to do. Transferable skills, and all of that.

I’d go with the luxury hotel. It likely offers the most security, may be more lucrative to get into (so once you do, you better hold on to it-these jobs are competitive) and will hopefully pay better since expectations will be higher

Are there any debt consolidation options for a professional family man with a decent credit score, who's let high interest credit card debt get out of hand? I get the mailers that entice with a low advertised rate, and then the offer comes back at something slightly less than what I am already paying. I am thinking something along the lines of a bank that I can talk to, and explain exactly where the money is going, not being apposed to a direct deposit to the card companies themselves.

I have a LOT of credit card debt. It has just grown over time and I can’t find my way out. I’m considering debt consolidation, specifically a company called National Debt Relief which seems legit but I’m just so hesitant because I’m scared to make my situation worse. Or a personal loan to pay off all the CC debt and then have a smaller all in one payment. I’m intelligent and I work in finance, it’s so embarrassing. HELP.

Any recommendations on getting into wine? I love other specialty beverages (3rd wave coffee, craft beer), but struggle to “figure out” wine.

The ability to get involved with local beer and coffee producers has been a huge factor for me, so I’m guessing the comparative lack of local wine producers has contributed to me struggling to understand more of the process, culture, tasting notes, etc.
