Currently, many university majors are being discouraged by netizens, and hotel management is one of them. So, hotel management is the crappiest profession? Why is the hospitality profession not recognized? In this issue, we will answer it for you in detail.

2. What do you do after graduating from hotel management major?

Mainly in the hotel, tourism and other industries, engaged in front-line service or management work in front offices, guest rooms, restaurants, hotel human resources departments, marketing and other positions.

3. Hotel management is called the "most rubbish" profession for the following reasons:

(1) It needs to start from the bottom, and the preliminary work is hard.

Graduates of this major said that when they first entered the industry after graduating from hotel management, they were required to do some odd jobs on the front line, such as serving dishes, helping guests carry luggage, cleaning, etc. The work is quite hard, and many graduates cannot persist and do not survive the management. So they will choose to change careers, and then say "hotel management is the most rubbish profession".

(2) The work requires three shifts, which is very harmful to health.

If you enter the back-office department, most of them can work from 9 to 5. But if you work at the front desk of a hotel, you need to work three shifts, which has a negative impact on your health. Especially for girls, three shifts and irregular holidays will have a big impact on their future family life.

(3) The entry threshold and starting salary are low, promotion is slow, the industry has obvious off-peak and peak seasons, and the industry recognition is low.

The entry threshold for the hotel industry is not high. Some employees have graduated from junior high schools, some have undergraduate degrees, and there are even returnees from overseas studies. In the early stage, because they all started from the bottom, the wages were not high. This is also the reason why many young people are unwilling to stay and work in hotels. The off-peak and peak seasons in the hotel industry are obvious. There are many guests during holidays, so work will be very hard and the pressure will be greater. The most important point is that because of cultural differences, in China, as long as you work in the service industry, your status is relatively low. Unlike abroad, good service can bring higher value, such as tips.

? 2. Why is the hotel major not recognized?

The hotel management major is not an unrecognized major, but a promising one.

1. Huge market demand: The hotel industry is one of the top ten popular industries in the world. In recent years, hotel groups from various well-known brands around the world have targeted the Chinese market and invested heavily in and franchised hotels. There is a huge demand for professional talents in the industry. Although currently affected by the epidemic, the hotel industry has been hit hard. However, as the global epidemic eases, the hotel industry will also usher in recovery, and the industry prospects are very good.

2. Lack of mid-to-high-end talents: Although the employment threshold for hotel management majors is relatively low, if they want to develop better in the industry, they need to constantly improve themselves and become equipped with stronger language skills. It is best to have mid-to-high-end talents who have received the most advanced training in the world and have accumulated experience over many years.

3. The older you get, the more popular you become: The hotel management industry is not an industry that “eats for youth” as some people think, but an industry that becomes more popular as you get older, and you can serve for life.

Because as seniority increases, the experience in dealing with people becomes richer and the ability to handle things becomes stronger.
