Hello, are there any graduates of Tourism? How and where did you realize yourself? What is your job? Do you like work and pay?

Receptionist
I graduated years ago. Salaries are generally low, and people who have no idea about tourism can work in the field. And with one guide course going on, there is no point in studying for 4 years. And for hotels they are recruiting all kinds, education is not an advantage, nor is it higher paid. I tried in this field, and I was disappointed because of the salaries and the fact that my education is meaningless. I was in a hotel at the reception, they have a person for a higher position, or your boss is a manager and there is no way you can be. Besides, I realized that my other colleagues have no education in the field, and I still take as many as they do. You work for 4 years and realize that salaries in the sector are low. Some may have been more fortunate, but I was just disappointed. I am currently trying in another area. If you want a conversion, try for a travel agency, I wanted, but they didn't take me.
I have not graduated in tourism, but things have turned out so well that almost all my work experience so far is in this field. Initially I worked as a receptionist in a hotel, and recently I am in a travel agency. I like both things very much, as I left the hotel only for financial reasons. Unfortunately, salaries in the field of tourism are insultingly low.
The most absurd specialty is this. You become a receptionist without studying. I don't know - you choose such specialties, and then you scream that there is no work.
Tourism is taught as a manager, not a receptionist. You start with a receptionist, then you start dealing with reservations and invoices, front office management, restaurant management and finally - a complex manager. You have to go up the stairs so that you are not a parachutist. There are many jobs for managers and not all of them are people of the boss, more often they are people from the industry, recommended by a colleague of the owner - usually hoteliers know each other and when you build a name, there is always work for you. But, unfortunately, a lot of nerves are wasted, and salaries are not high in the industry. I even had a chef with a 30% higher salary than mine, and he wasn't much of a professional. In general, very ungrateful work and not very paid. I would return for not less than BGN 3,500 net in this branch. And it is difficult to give over 2000 ...
