I don’t disagree with you. My daughter has a couple friends that are hospitality majors and I really think they would be much better off as business majors. You can get a job in Hospitality with a business degree but it’s difficult the other way around. I have a business degree (Human Resources) but my first job out of college was in a management training program for a hotel management company. I LOVED the job but the pay was low and I worked about 70 hours a week.
But I am a little surprised that you received a degree in Hospitality and at no point did you learn about Managament Companies. It can work both ways - if the Managament company that you work with buys a hotel - you could be “brought along”.
