Tom Cruise as Jerry McGuire... this segment manages sports and entertainment facilities, manages individual athletes and sports teams, as well as entertainers, bands, and performers of all kinds. It might start as a road trip with a yet-unknown band - sleeping in a bus and hustling from one gig to the next ? and end up planning a world tour. | | Sports & Entertainment | | For entrepreneurs who want to own their own business and have the ability to put their creative talents to use, this is a great field to explore. From catering a local dinner party that features your newly-created dessert, to building up a catering company with hundreds of employees who design and deliver invitations, food, flowers, manage the photography, and all the other aspects of a well-planned event, this is another fast-growing segment in the Industry. | | Catering | | Colleges that offer an education in hospitality, and especially those that develop chefs, are seeing the number of freshmen grow at an incredible 25% per year. This creates a huge demand for great teachers and instructors. As a teacher, instructor, or professor, you can bring together your innate talents with the incredible reward of changing the lives of the students you might teach. The education segment of the Industry prepares teachers and administrators for high schools, community colleges, and universities. | | Education | | Planning a trip to the Bahamas... or how about swimming with the sharks, or a safari, or a visit to the pyramids? There is a lot more to making a perfect vacation than booking a flight and a hotel room. Everybody has different needs... families, adventurers, those who like to rough it, and those who are looking for a little... scratch that... lot of... pampering. Organizing and managing these trips, which are growing at a ferocious rate, is fueling an Industry that people thought would disappear after Expedia and Priceline. Not so! Great futures and some remarkable opportunities to see the world still abound. | | Travel & Tourism | | Meeting planning was recently named one the "Best Jobs in America" by Money Magazine. Certainly wedding planning comes to mind (Hollywood helped). But there is a lot more than that. Events of all kinds are being hosted by companies, organizations, and individuals. These could be corporate meetings or conferences that include golf, tennis, tourism, and a spa. The events might just offer refreshments or they could include multi-course gourmet meals with live entertainment. Meeting planning and event management has been raised to a fine art with an incredible level of sophistication and professionalism. | | Event & Meeting Planning | | null | | null | | null | | null |
