I'm a 24 year old Chinese guy from Hong Kong. I came to the U.S. when I was 16. My education was just 5 years in high school in Philadelphia. I've been a server in Chinese buffet restaurants for years. I'm really tired of working like a dog for 86 hours/week. My meals were just the unhealthy rubbish on the buffet. I realize that I'm being dumb and my life is being colorless. Now I wanna refresh my life. Hope you all can help me and I will always appreciate. Is studying in community college easier than the Navy? Because I'm not smart enough to get into the Navy and the ASVAB is too hard for me. What can I study in community college? About how much money I have to spend on community college? Are the books included?
The Navy/ASVAB is completely different from a community college or other school. It looks like you have great writing skills already, so if that's any indication I think that you'll be fine in community college.
Community colleges vary in tuition cost, but they're almost always cheaper than regular universities. I think I spent less than $1000 per semester on tuition, and less than $300 on books per semester. Books are usually not included in your tuition.
Don't overlook financial aid, either. You might qualify for a scholarhip or a grant, or you could always take out a federal loan.
As far as what you can study in community college, they usually offer a little of everything. They offer liberal arts classes that you can transfer to a university, as well as courses in different trades and careers.
Of course, the best resource for this information is your local community college. Have a look at their website, or give them a call.

The only thing I can think about is the day it is over I really don’t care what grade I get anymore I don’t care if I fail my finals I just want this to be over anybody else just hate school like I really hate learning the only reason I went is cause my mom made me do you hate learning and shcool like I do
You’re not going to school because your mom made you. You’re going for YOU. I started out at a community college myself and then transferred to a university. I understand how some class subjects may be difficult to understand, and probably that’s why you dislike them. I suggest that every semester, you take at least 1 class on a topic you enjoy, regardless of whether it counts towards your major or not. This might motivate you to go to school everyday.
Even though our education system has established a numerical grading system to judge students, it really isn’t a measure of one’s true intelligence. Nonetheless, in order to set yourself up for success later in life, you have to “play the game.” It is important to get good grades now. So, please don’t dismiss your final exams. A lot of people have gone through the same experience and same feelings as you have. Don’t give up! If there’s something you don’t understand in class, raise your hand and ask questions, or seek outside help (I remember my community college offered free tutoring sessions). So hang in there my friend. It’s finals week… only one week of your life… so make it count. Do your best and good things will lie ahead. Best of luck on your exams.

Resident or hotel managers are responsible for the day-to-day operations of the property. In larger properties, more than one of these managers may assist the general manager, frequently dividing responsibilities between the food and beverage operations and the rooms or lodging services. At least one manager, either the general manager or a hotel manager, is on call 24 hours a day to resolve problems or emergencies.
Assistant managers help run the day-to-day operations of the hotel. In large hotels, they may be responsible for activities such as personnel, accounting, office administration, marketing and sales, purchasing, security, maintenance, and pool, spa, or recreational facilities. In smaller hotels, these duties may be combined into one position. Assistant managers may adjust charges on a hotel guest’s bill when a manager is unavailable.
Lodging managers are responsible for keeping their establishments efficient and profitable. In a small establishment with a limited staff, the manager may oversee all aspects of operations. However, large hotels may employ hundreds of workers, and the general manager usually is aided by a number of assistant managers assigned to the various departments of the operation. In hotels of every size, managerial duties vary significantly by job title.
General managers have overall responsibility for the operation of the hotel. Within guidelines established by the owners of the hotel or executives of the hotel chain, the general manager sets room rates, allocates funds to departments, approves expenditures, and ensures expected standards for guest service, decor, housekeeping, food quality, and banquet operations. Managers who work for chains also may organize and staff a newly built hotel, refurbish an older hotel, or reorganize a hotel or motel that is not operating successfully. In order to fill entry-level service and clerical jobs in hotels, some managers attend career fairs.
Because hotels are open around the clock, night and weekend work is common. Many lodging managers work more than 40 hours per week, and may be called back to work at any time. Some managers of resort properties or other hotels where much of the business is seasonal have other duties on the property during the off-season or find work at other hotels or in other areas.
Lodging managers experience the pressures of coordinating a wide range of activities. At larger hotels, they also carry the burden of managing a large staff and finding a way to satisfy guest needs while maintaining positive attitudes and employee morale. Conventions and large groups of tourists may present unusual problems or require extended work hours. Moreover, dealing with irate guests can be stressful. The job can be particularly hectic for front office managers during check-in and check-out times. Computer failures can further complicate processing and add to frustration levels.
Hotels increasingly emphasize specialized training. Postsecondary training in hotel, restaurant, or hospitality management is preferred for most hotel management positions; however, a college liberal arts degree may be sufficient when coupled with related hotel experience or business education. Internships or part-time or summer work experience in a hotel are an asset to students seeking a career in hotel management. The experience gained and the contacts made with employers can greatly benefit students after graduation. Most degree programs include work-study opportunities.
Community colleges, junior colleges, and many universities offer certificate or degree programs in hotel, restaurant, or hospitality management leading to an associate, bachelor, or graduate degree. Technical institutes, vocational and trade schools, and other academic institutions also offer courses leading to formal recognition in hospitality management. In total, more than 800 educational facilities provide academic training for would-be lodging managers. Hotel management programs include instruction in hotel administration, accounting, economics, marketing, housekeeping, food service management and catering, and hotel maintenance engineering. Computer training also is an integral part of hotel management training, due to the widespread use of computers in reservations, billing, and housekeeping management.
More than 450 high schools in 45 States offer the Lodging Management Program created by the Educational Institute of the American Hotel and Lodging Association. This two-year program offered to high school juniors and seniors teaches management principles and leads to a professional certification called the “Certified Rooms Division Specialist.” Many colleges and universities grant participants credit towards a post-secondary degree in hotel management.
Lodging managers must be able to get along with many different types of people, even in stressful situations. They must be able to solve problems and concentrate on details. Initiative, self-discipline, effective communication skills, and the ability to organize and direct the work of others also are essential for managers at all levels.
Persons wishing to make a career in the hospitality industry may be promoted into a management trainee position sponsored by the hotel or a hotel chain’s corporate parent. Typically, trainees work as assistant managers and may rotate assignments among the hotel’s departmentsâfront office, housekeeping, or food and beverageâto gain a wide range of experiences. Relocation to another property may be required to help round out the experience and to help grow a trainee into the position.
Work experience in the hospitality industry at any level or in any segment, including summer jobs or part-time work in a hotel or restaurant, is good background for entering hotel management. Most employers require a bachelor’s degree with some education in business and computer literacy, while some prefer a master’s degree for hotel management positions. However, employees who demonstrate leadership potential and possess sufficient length or breadth of experience may be invited to participate in a management training program and advance to hotel management positions without the education beyond high school.
Large hotel and motel chains may offer better opportunities for advancement than small, independently owned establishments, but relocation every several years often is necessary for advancement. The large chains have more extensive career ladder programs and offer managers the opportunity to transfer to another hotel or motel in the chain or to the central office. Career advancement can be accelerated by the completion of certification programs offered by various associations. These programs usually require a combination of course work, examinations, and experience. For example, outstanding lodging managers may advance to higher level manager positions.
Renewed business travel and domestic and foreign tourism will drive employment growth of lodging managers in full-service hotels. The numbers of economy-class rooms and extended-stay hotels also are expected to increase to accommodate leisure travelers and bargain-conscious guests. An increasing range of lodging accommodations is available to travelers, from economy hotels which offer clean, comfortable rooms and front desk services without costly extras such as restaurants and room service, to luxury and boutique inns that offer sumptuous furnishings and personal services. The accommodation industry is expected to continue to consolidate as lodging chains acquire independently owned establishments or undertake their operation on a contract basis. The increasing number of extended-stay hotels will moderate growth of manager jobs because these properties usually have fewer departments and require fewer managers. Also, these establishments often do not require a manager to be available 24 hours a day, instead assigning front desk clerks on duty at night some of the responsibilities previously reserved for managers.
Additional demands for managers is expected in suite hotels, because some guestsâespecially business customersâare willing to pay higher prices for rooms with kitchens and suites that provide the space needed to conduct small meetings. In addition, large full-service hotelsâoffering restaurants, fitness centers, large meeting rooms, and play areas for children, among other amenitiesâwill continue to provide many trainee and managerial opportunities.
