One of the greatest aspects of hotel management is that YOU can choose where you want to be, and rest assured that there will be work there for you. Of course, the larger the city, the more opportunity for growth and development.

In hotel management, the most important element to your growth will be EXPERIENCE. Therefore, getting a four-year degree in hotel management will not be as helpful as four years of experience, but the combination of both degree and experience is very powerful. If you decide to get a degree without getting experience, plan on starting at the bottom of the ladder when you are done.

Knowing this, the best places for jobs are those that receive the most tourism/travel business- Las Vegas, New York, Chicago, LA, for example. But there are also great opportunities in smaller areas that rely heavily on tourism: National Parks, Ski Areas, etc. As I said before, choose where you want to go, then look for jobs there.

Hotel management salary is average. You WILL NOT become a billionaire in hotel management, but you will also not suffer. Salary ranges from about $25,000 for a small (50 room hotel) to 6 figures for very huge hotels. This amount does vary widely based on your location, of course.

Hope this helps, and here is a link for more info:
