I know it’s quite a jump to go from considering a Master’s in Speech-Language Pathology to a Master’s in Hospitality Management, but there was a logical process by which I have [almost] decided that this is the course I want to take. (P.S. It was also quite a jump to go from a Bachelor’s in Marketing to a Master’s in Speech-Language Pathology.)

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing. I am generally unfulfilled by this world of emailing people I will never meet and meeting people I will never email. I am just not excited about this.

Now, I considered Speech-Language Pathology because I have a passion for language. Everything about it fascinates me and everything I learned in my Language Development class this semester fascinated me. But language isn’t the only thing that fascinates me. As you can tell from my recent posts about fashion and apartment gardening, I am multi-passionate.

But I digress

This post was why I am applying to the Rosen School of Hospitality. And here is my list of Pros

• I don’t have to spend 3 years taking prerequisites, because it’s related closely enough to Marketing. (This is a big one, because it reduces the number of years that I have to spend in school by half AND that reduces the number of loans I will have to take out by half.)
• The one aspect of my current job that I really love is event planning and this degree gives me a lot of opportunity in this department
• I am incredibly sociable and hospitality will put this character trait to good use
• I love fine dining, traveling and big events, I have lots of experience with all three.
• The classes that I will have to take are SO exciting. (More on this later)
• I love school. I did well in business school and hospitality is a little bit like business school but a lot more fun.
