BMWUser, interesting what you say about getting in it for the cash. Honestly i'm in for the experience for now. Thats why i'm looking at it as an intern. Its something that I can really try "risk free" without signing a full time contract. At most, I lose a summer--but get a great resume booster...
mD,
Good point about Marriott. As i've gone through the hotel school, I have looked into pursuing a career with a company such as marriott and working my way up to regional director, etc. However, I am not fond of operations of hotels, I hate the day -to-day operations such as directing housekeeping, front desk, etc.
I was employed by Marriott for 2.5 years during highschool. and although it was incredibly fun as a highschool job, i cannot see myself doing that as a career. I'd lose my mind.
My real goal is to be in Private Equity Real Estate. Thats where my passion lies right now. The barrier that i'm running into is that these places either hire MBA graduates or people who have worked in banking for 2+ years. I wish there was an easier way in. I figured that working in banking could lead me to other opportunities. Its a small risk because I may end up loving it too!
such a confusing time
