"Band" is the minor, so you can evaluate DJs to hire for the party.

Saw that too.

There was a Miami Hurricanes player back in the mid 80's who's major was Relaxation Techniques.

Imagine he smoked a lot of weed.

University of Central Florida has a magnet college in Hospitality Management, which is basically college level business school plus for the hotel and restaurant industry. It is real and it is respected very highly by the industry. Also, my wife's cousin works in Boston as an events planner for a large hotel and makes well in excess of $100k. Still laughing?

100K in Florida with cost of living = 60K in Texas

Yes we have the hospitality classes at our local schools as well. I just though it was strange to see it as a major for a football player.

I worked in the hospitality industry for 10 years for one of the most well respected Hoteliers. Loved it with a passion, but they beat the hell out of you. The hours, and work put it don't match the pay. I made the decision to leave the industry when I looked at what I was responsible for vs what I was being paid for. The two didn't come close. There are some jobs in the industry that do pay well, but they are very few, and I am not sure the personal sacrifice is worth it. Plus in most cases you need to move every couple of years to take promotions. If you are young and single it works well, but not if you have a family or are looking to establish one.

We used to joke about people falling into one of the 3 D's if you worked in hospitality. Drinking, Drugs, or Divorce.

Many Corporations have Event Planners or whatever you want to call them...it is a viable occupation and while it does not break the bank salary wise, I have know some Event Planners.
