As I was in my senior year and recruiters began talking to us at So. Carolina, I was amazed at the number of banks that wanted to talk to Hotel Restaurant students.. When asked about this (because So. Carolina has a good business school), the reps from these banks said a) what they really wanted were employees that had a demonstrated ability to learn; they would supply the specific training; b) they liked having people with varied background and skills; c) folks who could interact well with the public were always valued (ie customer service skills).
Also, after being out of school for a few years I heard the comment from someone in the field of career counseling saying that it used to be that folks came out of school, found a job and stayed there sometimes their entire career. Today, its not uncommon for a person to not only change jobs, but careers as well several times during their work life.
