Changes

So after about a year and half a semester of taking Hospitality classes, I've come to the realization that it's just not for me. This may come as a surprise to you all considering how dead set I was on getting my HBM degree. However I finally admitted to myself the service/hospitality industry just doesn't interest me. I suppose part of it comes from taking other required business courses. In my accounting and management information systems classes I find myself so much more engaged and interested. I've found a new passion for business, but not so much in hospitality. Honestly, I don't want to work in a hotel for the rest of my life, and I don't ever want to work in a restaurant again. Now I realized that as I would have climbed the corporate ladder I would have found myself in less operational positions and more corporate ones. This is good, but I don't want to have to wait ten years for that. Also why would I want to limit myself to the hospitality sector.

As it stands, I'm looking at a finance degree with a concentration in real estate. Currently I'm just thinking perhaps work as a real estate agent for a year or two, then go to Portland State University where they have a Masters in Real Estate Development where I could have more advanced and lucrative jobs in the future. But then again I still have lots of time to figure this out. I'll keep you all posted.
