@twicearound With that list I showed that it was more than just me who shared these sentiments. For what it’s worth, here is another list that agrees with me: http://www.thedailybeast.com/galleries/2012/04/23/the-13-most-useless-majors-from-philosophy-to-journalism.html#slide_11
“An accounting agree is better IF it is of interest to you, your field, your goals, etc.”
If your interest and goal is to become a General Manager, then I would definitely recommend an accounting degree. Wouldn’t you prefer to work at a job for 5-10 years, even if it is a job you wouldn’t want, if it meant that you would be much closer to your career goal.
To start off as a General Manager, you are going to probably work at a small hotel where you would be the one completing payroll and other accounting functions anyways.
Can you give me reasons why a hospitality degree would be beneficial OVER another bachelor degree? There are certainly reasons that warrant hospitality over accounting if you want a career in hotels.
Like I said before, I made a very calculated decision before following through with hospitality. I get the impression you think I put little effort into my decision.
