my really close friend is a hospitality and tourism major at NYU.
She loves it., especially since she's in NY and there are so many great hotels.

I was actually interested in this, but my mom said there wasn't many job options for it, and might not be very high in pay. Is that true because I really am not sure :/

I'm majoring in International Hotel & Tourism Management.

Also holding concentrations in Beverage Management and Resort Management.

I haven't really had any formal education in Business...
However, I may take an international business masters...?

Still thinking about it

Really excited for my study abroad...

hmm i guess it depends? cos i'd just prefer hospitality rather than tourism. haha xD yeah i guess the pay's not as much as bankers etc. hmm nvm xD we can try building a world class hotel xD !! haha aspirations!
