Positions and employers

It is important to note that employers often do not specify a particular major or specialisation when recruiting.

Some are even quite flexible about the degree applicants have studied, for example, some major employers recruit 'any degree'. Such employers often indicate an interest in a broad range of graduate skills together with passion, commitment and a strong work ethic rather than specific program content.

Your Tourism Management degree may be appropriate to a wide range of positions many of which may not seem obvious at first glance.
