    I'm good at writing Philosophy Major / English minor.


    Useless degree in terms of practicality, but hopefully I'll go straight to the big leagues and make 7 figures.

    I've always wonder


    What do people actually end up doing majoring in Restaurant/Hotel Management at UH?


    My friend is thinking about going into that, but I"m not sure if you can get a high salary job with that degree rite?

    Seems like a bunch of hospitality classes.

    My friend got a degree in restaurant and hotel management and he is a manager at Luby's. A GM at Luby's starting salary is $65,000 and goes up to $170,000k depending on the restaurants performance.

    From what I hear from my friends who have the most free time: education or something in business.

    It may be time consuming, but that doesn't mean it's hard.

    Based on the OP's self-assessment, I am guessing he is more interested in the least amount of effort put forth towards earning a degree. As such, Political Science or History are out of the question.

    What degree used to be called Physical Education? Kinesiology or something like that? I bet that is pretty light work load right there.

    Dealing with a billion old hags is definitely not worth 65,000.

    Maybe not, but that's starting. Didn't realize they made that kind of money.

    Well I know my friend is majoring in World of warcraft here in UT-Austin. I think just about every college offers that so you should definitely look into it.

    you can make good money as a gm in the restaurant biz, but the hours are usually really long and vacation is few and far between.

    It seems like a lot of people who don't know what they want to do end up defaulting to psychology, including several of my friends.

    I think everywhere, but I know at least where I go to school, phycology is far and away the most popular major at close to 50%

    my uncle was a luby's gm for about a year - the schedule/hours are insane. i wouldnt do that job for under $100k and even then i dont think i could last more than a couple years - you have no life outside luby's.

    ive worked in a few restaurants and most gm's are bitter a-holes - i dont want to be like that.

    If you end up with a degree for a career that you don't like, then you will have to go back to college to get another degree to start over again.

    Major in communication or sociology.

    I switched from pre-med to business administration after 2 years or so and thought it was a breeze comparatively.
