I cant afford to go to a 4 year school, Stafford loan isnt enough, there is no way in Hell I can get a private loan I have no cosigners, not so great credit, I have job that is barely paying all my bills, no family member can help me, and I have done scholarships, but havent gotten any. I just have to realize I will never get a four year degree. So what are my job prospects with a two year degree in Hospitality Mngmt.?

First of all, never say never. If you have the need, the grants and loans will come. Many, many, many people put themselves through college without help from family, me being one of them. Talk to the financial aid people at the school, they will help you find the money.
Now, your 2 year hospitality degree could land you a job at the front desk of a nice hotel where you could possibly work your way up. You could look for a job with a cruise line, Disneyworld, etc.

yes--plus, i wouldnt be surprised if once you get these fine jobs, that the company "might" pay for continuing education.
there is nothing wrong with a 2 yr degree! better than going to a 4yr cllege and not finishing (*clears throat*--like me  ) i always feel like i have no trade cause i wasnt able to finish.
but i will be going back soon! to a community college  |

Managing or working for a restaurant is the very last thing I want to do. Anything else is fine. I have been working at two different ones with the same company for two years now and I hate it. I see how everything works with managers its awful. I worked at a hotel for a summer in Myrtle Beach I really liked that. Its just hard finding a job at a hotel where I live at now. The only thing that really hires in hospitality around where I live are restaurants. I have gotten my general education classes and I was going to transfer to a four year school to finish, but I cant afford it. I thought I would just go to a two year school and get an Associates in Hospitality Mngmt. So I was wondering what jobs would I most likely get with a two year degree. Thanks everyone for the answers so far, I appreciate it.
