I personally have been in the hotel business for 22 years. I started right out of college as a front desk manager earning $9.00 an hour. I spent that first year at the desk trying to get a job in the sales department, but had no luck. Next, I went to about 18 hotels and submitted my resume. They all told me the same thing, I needed some hotel sales experience. After 4 months of knocking on the same doors, an owner of a hotel gave me a break and started me out as his one and only sales manager for a 124 room hotel. Someone finally gave me a break!. My point is that you don't need to start at a front desk and earn $10 an hour. You can jump into hotel sales and earn 40-60K or more at an entry level sales position.

Give an online course like aprinda.com or ahla.com, or even ecornell.com a try. You will be on your way to a great career in the hospitality business. People that get into hotel sales rarely leave. They say it gets in your blood. It got into mine.
