Hospitality and Tourism Major

Hello welcome to my blog!  My name is Kelly and I'm studying Hospitality and Tourism Management in San Francisco State University.  This is my last semester here and I can't wait to graduate and go out to work in the real world.  My first intention when I got here wasn't to be in the hotel industry; my initial major was declared as Accounting.  However, as soon as I transferred from San Francisco City College and started to take some intermediate accounting classes, I know that accounting is not what I wanted.  I think to myself that I wanted something that's more interactive, outgoing and fun; therefore, I chose Hospitality and Tourism Management as my major.  Especially I love traveling to learn and experience different cultures in different places around the world, so I know hotel business is the perfect field to get in.  In addition to studying the hotel major, I also like about that this major offers students internships to let them better understand the real industry and skills needed before they graduate and step in the real world.  As to what I know about other majors, they don't have this opportunity offered to students.  I finished my internship this summer and I'm ready to graduate this semester.
