Question
Hi, I am not sure if you will be able to answer my questions, but I was wondering if You could tell me a little about what I would be doing, and what different jobs I could get, in these programs:
international hospitality, spa management, message & spa therapy.
I am mostly intrigued with international hospitality, so if you could tell me more about that. But really I would love to know more about all of those...
I am tryin to decide which program I would like to study, so anything you can tell me about those would be greatly appreciated.
Hope you can help me.
Thanks, Ali
