Our son is at UCF and just changed majors to Hospitality (theme park management). Can ANYONE tell me what kind of jobs and starting salary he can expect with this degree?? Have to say it's a good fit for him, and we are familiar with Rosen, just not sure what he can expect in the way of job opportunities. Also, I understand three internships are required, but does the college assist students in finding them or are you on your own? Any international internships? Thanks!
 
Hi!

I am also from Central Illinois and my daughter also goes to Rosen. It's up to the student to find the job for the internships. She works at Disney, one roommate works at a hotel and another at the convention bureau. They do have job fairs though where they get tons of info on local opportunities. Things seem to be picking up now but last year when the kids weren't getting very many hours they were very understanding about it.

I don't know about international opportunities - I haven't heard anything about them but the regular interships only could for one hour credit each semester and you work 10-20 hours a week. I can't remember the specifics right now. You can get one job and just keep it for the internship as my daughter did.

My daughter is also in the theme park management track.

PM me if you want to talk! Does he live at Rosen?
