Work in Tech
For me, the hospitality major isn’t about working in the hospitality industry necessarily; it’s about taking care of people, and I feel you can do that in any place, including Google."

Real-World Experience
By the time I graduated, I knew what I wanted to do because I had already worked in my declared profession. No one can teach you what having a full-time job is like; you have to be in it to understand. Being able to do that at 'no risk' before you graduate and sign a contract is invaluable."
