I'm a senior three student? I applied for the major of hotel management. Can I go now? Is it good for employment? thank you

For your doubts when applying for the hotel management major, you may wish to learn from the competitive advantages of this major before making a decision after graduation.

For the students who graduated from the same school, the graduates majoring in hotel management have little competitive advantage when they graduate. Let's analyze it from the following aspects, hoping to help friends who have the same questions. Of course, these analyses are not absolute. As the saying goes, arachis duranensis.

Tourism management majors are mainly divided into: hotel management, travel agency management, scenic spot management, exhibition management, golf entertainment venue management, etc. These majors are not available in all schools, depending on the nature and strength of the school you choose, only in the direction of hotels and travel agencies.

The prospect of tourism-related industries and the contradiction between practitioners: With the improvement of people's living standards, we have the desire, ability and leisure to travel or consume, which means there is a considerable vacancy. At the same time, in the tide of globalization and internationalization, there are relatively more foreign tourists visiting China. The market cake related to the whole tourism industry is quite big, and there are also many opportunities in it. From this perspective, it is quite easy for us to find jobs in tourism-related industries. However, as a labor-intensive industry, from the aspects of industry level, post particularity and social status, there is relatively no advantage in engaging in this industry.

First, from the characteristics of the industry, tourism, as the main pillar of the tertiary industry, accounts for nearly 50% of the national economy, but it only benefits from a large number of workers engaged in labor-intensive industries such as hotels and travel agencies. As a service industry, the level of tourism in the whole industry is relatively low;

Second, as practitioners engaged in tourism-related industries, they are highly replaceable in the industry. In other words, if you don't do it today, those who don't find a job and want to find it can always make up for the relevant job vacancies;

Third, as a related talent in tourism professionals, the speed of talent promotion is relatively slow. What are your work goals in the first few years after graduation? That is: gather wealth efficiently in a short time, and at the same time expand your personal network at work. However, the promotion speed and salary of the hotel can't keep up with the economic and development needs of leaving school and entering the society. Boys with less wealthy families should have a house, a ticket and a car, and it is safer to find the right girl. As a girl, her salary is not optimistic. Maybe she loves beauty a little. Buying cosmetics a few years ago was not very casual.

Fourthly, practitioners in tourism-related industries are not respected in China, and their social status is not high. In the process of providing services to guests, it is very likely to "fly" in one way or another. In addition, when classmates or friends around talk about their recent work, it is difficult for them to feel satisfied with the current work situation. Unless, of course, you don't mind what others say about yourself. This is also one of the important reasons why many graduates can't stay in tourism-related industries after one or two years.

Fifth, it is an indisputable fact that practitioners in tourism-related industries engage in a lot of tedious manual labor, which will be much slower than other sales, human resources, finance and other work to improve their comprehensive ability. This is the "opportunity cost" in real life. Our ability is in place. If we do other work with the same efforts, we may get greater returns and improve our comprehensive ability faster.

Sixth, with the rapid development of tourism, high-quality and high-ability talents are also the key to gain competitive advantage, taking Nan 'an District of Chongqing as an example. It is estimated that 13 five-star hotels will settle in Nan 'an District in the next five years. At present, five-star hotels that have been built and opened include Le Meridien Wanda, Hilton Qinglong Nanshan and Sheraton Hotel. There are Kempinski Hotel under construction and Holiday Inn Yang Zijiang renovated. High-end brand hotels also mean the need for high-level talents, but it is difficult for newly graduated practitioners to have a competitive advantage. Of course, those with financial strength can go abroad for further study and go to higher-level schools such as Swiss International Hotel and Tourism Management College. But how many such people will there be? The vast majority of practitioners have to face the reality of large amount of labor and low wages and work silently for several years. Finally, they may not have a bright future.

Seventh, tourism management, as a molecule of management, is awarded a bachelor's degree in management (for undergraduates) upon graduation. However, when looking for a job, when competing with students who are also bachelor's degrees in management, such as administration and business administration, perhaps because you majored in tourism management, you are not qualified to pass the initial test, let alone the second test later. In addition, as a graduate majoring in tourism management, it is very difficult to take the corresponding civil servants or other institutions at the beginning of graduation, and it is also very difficult to pass the professional examination. Students majoring in tourism management are not allowed to apply for many positions.
