Hotel Sales or Catering Managers:

Hotels always need from 1-7 or more sales people at each hotel. It doesn't matter if the economy is good or bad, they always have these people.

You earn 40-60K or more entry level and advance to 70-80K or more fairly quickly. You don't need a hospitality degree.

Try aprinda.com to get started fast as a hotel sales manager. I was in the business 22 years and made 170K my best year. But that was because I got a bunch of bonus money that one very good year.
