Congrats on a solid career choice

Lucky for you, you're in the right industry.

According to a featured article on Yahoo! Education, hotel management is one of the six categories of jobs with the best perks, along with marketing managers, network administrators, pharmaceutical sales reps, broadcast or sound technician and aircraft mechanic.

Why?

"If you work for a major hotel chain, expect complimentary or deeply reduced prices for lodging and tourism excursions for you and your family-and not just at the properties you represent. Job prospects are good, too, with business travel and vacationing remaining strong despite rising fuel costs and economic stagnation."

In our upcoming Nov. 3 issue, we offer H&MM's fourth annual general managers' survey, which highlights concerns, benefits and myriad other aspects of being in management. Pick up your copy in a couple of weeks—it's got plenty of interesting information, and it also let's you see how you, your wages and your vacation time stack up.
Anyway, kudos to you all for picking a solid—and perk-full—career. We trade journalists are awaiting our day.
