Do a graduation course in Hotel Management.  You have not given your location otherwise I would have suggested names of the institutes too.  In Kolkata, two of the reputed ones are ATI at Salt Lake and IIHM\n\nBest of Luck to you

Finance and Admin/HR functions..but you need to have some experience.. so you need to start from the bottom.

Anything customer service related will help you. But realize that alot of call center jobs end up being outsourced so don't plan on working there for the long haul. Get at least 6 months-a year of experience under your belt then try to get a job in the hotel industry.

You have two options that I can see.\n\nYou can pick up a bachelors degree in business in management or a related field and then use that to get you some interviews for entry level positions.\n\n-OR-\n\nJump right into the job market and excel.  Many of the business managers I’ve spoken too actually started in sales and were promoted into managerial positions after proving themselves. That being said many of them advised me to stick it out in school because it makes everything easier for you down the road.\n\nRegards,\nArmus

Try the University of New Orleans. It's one of the top colleges for tourism and hospitality studies in the US, and it's got an excellent placement rate for its graduates. It's also affordable and provides you with internship programs where you can work part-time or full-time at area hotels.  \nhttp://www.macquil.com/articles/uno.php

I really really really want to manage my own inn. When I was in high school, I was actually a science stream student. I took up science because my parents wanted me to be an engineer (sigh). I have always been dreaming of running a hotel. MY hotel. The steakhouse would be superb. The lobby would fit a wedding ceremony. The bar would be the talk of the town. All of the customers would be well-attended and personal preferrence of each and every regulars would be noted. When I was choosing a course for my undergraduate studies, my parents asked me to take up mathematics, but without their knowledge, I changed my option to Business (majoring in Tourism and Hospitality) - the degree that I ahve been eyeing since 5 years back! I knew it was a risk because I don't have any basics in Business. I even failed my accounts when I was 15! But I was thinking to myself - Nick, either you take up this course and finally you can own a hotel you've been dreaming of since you were a kid, or you can take up Mathematics or Engineering and die without achieving your greatest dream." So I opted for my dream course - and they accepted me. To me, the only key to success is that, if I love what I study, I can prove to others that even WITHOUT basics in Business, I can get good grades. I'd do almost anything to make my dream come true. Now, I've made a lot of contacts with the personnels from several hotels around town (I even knew the Human Resource Manager of one five star hotel) and also several travel agents...and I actually just finished my first year of studies. My grades? For the first semester, suprisingly, I got 3.42 (a mere 0.08 shy from getting Dean's List) and last semester, I got 3.77. Were the lecturers helpfull? You might be suprised if I tell you that some mentioned to the class that "Oh, you've learned this chapter when you were in high school, so I'd skip this one" - most of the time. (99% of students have Business backgrounds). Were last semester's subjects easy? Most of my friends' grades were going down...and they were frantically suprised to see me, knowing NOTHING on Business the first time they met me, emerged as the best student among 300+ students from my faculty. What was my motivation? "I'd do almost anything to make my dream come true". And I hope you would too.\n\nSincely,\nNick Ramzey\nFuture Manager and Owner of Kipalli's Inn

Generally, there are two types of MBAs, the executive MBA and the traditional MBA. Under the traditional MBA, there are two subsets, these are the 2 year and the fast-track MBA.\n\nThe traditional MBA has specializations which depend on the school you go to. The popular specializations are Finance, Marketing, Strategy, and Operations.\n\nTo answer your question, executives who reach the top of the corporate ladder are normally superb managers who pursue the traditional MBA. The degree is used by first specializing in one field, say Finance, then be able to become the CFO. From the CFO level, you can reach the CEO level by becoming a great manager who thinks about big ideas and a holistic approach, not just your specialty.\n\nTry to get into a top business school, and then get a traditional MBA. Be good at your specialty, and everything will follow.

I have a degree in Human Resource Manage.  I also have a degree in Business Management.  (I have an MBA too, but who is counting?)  \n\nFirst off, HR people, unless you get high up in a major corp (which often means you need a Master's and possibly a law degree as well) do not make a great deal of money, usually, especially starting out...but that is the same for marketing as well.  Typically, HR majors who want to work in that field get jobs as recruiters right out of college.  This is a cool job.  You are pretty much selling jobs.  You get to go to career fairs and things like that.  I think it would be fun.  \n\nHowever, a common misconception is that HR people make hiring decisions for companies.  This is just not the case.  Well, it may be the case for positions that require no skill or have no competition, but for skilled and competitive positions, managers make the decisions, HR just screens the people. HR has become a safety vale, more or less.  Due to employment law, our sue happy society and other factors, the HR position has become an organizations primary CYA mechanism.\n\nI don't know that one degree is better than the other.  It depends on what you want to do, in the end, I guess.  Both degrees build a foundation for success.  Both degrees provide you a foundation of education reguarding general business practice, which is marketable.  However, neither degree provides you with a specific skill that an organization needs.  (trust me, I know...I hae been there)  \n\nI don't believe one decision is better than the other.  Each degree program is respectable, relevant and marketable.  Beyond college, continued education and career experience will become much more important.  By gaining either degree, you will have put yourself in a position to become successful, which is what we all want, right?

I've been a restaurant manager for many years and I haven't used a great deal of chemistry in my day-to-day operations. If you have to take it for a degree...then you just have to take it. :)

If you are not certified, try to get a Six Sigma Black Belt or Master Black Belt Certification, an APICS CPIM or the new CSCP (Certified Supply Chain Specialist) and become an ISO Registrar.  It will take some time.  Use your own funds so no company has inherent rights over your future.  With all of those credentials, and your experience, you may go into consulting.  This way you will be in control of where, when and even if you want to work.  You may want start to publish about Operations and Materials Management applied to every day life (i.e.  Lean manufacturing principles in the kitchen) which will give you exposure and credibility.  You may also join the armed forces reserves like I did.

Hey there! Well, first of all, you don't need to post your question starting with "Hello Sir/Madam" here, haha. Well, I am not a hotel mgt student but I'm currently taking Business Management majoring in Tourism. I would recommend you to do your industrial training at any hotels or resorts that would accept you. Or, you can ask more information from the local Tourism Information Centre or ask around from the local tour agencies or the local Tourist Guide Association. Hope it helped. All the best!

One path to getting into business management is to pursue a Masters of Business Administration (MBA) after getting your undergraduate degree. You do not have to get an undergraduate degree in Business, but this might make sense, if you really feel this is what interests you. But there are other potential majors, like marketing, communications, or finance, that could also be a great lead-in to a business career.\n\nHowever, as you recognize, some people become CEOs without ever going to college. Many worked their way into that position by starting their own companies. They were entrepreneurs who did not necessarily have any formal education but who did have a dream and the willingness to do the hard work it took to make it happen.\n\nSo...there's no one way to go about this. A lot depends on your personality, including whether you are really suited to the job towards which you aspire. Until you have more experience in the business world, you may not know. College is a good place to learn about yourself and what interests you. While you are in college, seek out internship opportunities to try out the fields in which you have an interest to discover if these are a good match for you.
