Choosing the right minor is always a benefit – sometimes in a small way, but quite possibly in a more significant fashion. Most hospitality and tourism employers state that the college major is more important than the minor, and many employers stress that hands-­‐on experience gained during college is the most critical hiring variable of all. But that does not mean that the potential edge of a well-­‐selected minor should be ignored. Sometimes, having the right minor can serve as a tiebreaker between one candidate and another otherwise equally qualified competitor for the same job. If the applicants are similar in degree and experience levels, then the person with a minor in workplace diversity, human resources or Spanish would have an edge over, say, someone with a minor in history or music. How to Choose? So what’s the best minor to pursue? Some employers suggest selecting a minor with a specific future company or segment of the hospitality and tourism industry in mind. Or, a minor that seems a natural complement to the hotel, restaurant and tourism major but at the same time does not have too much overlap could be chosen. For example, pairing the hotel, restaurant and tourism management major with a technical writing minor may assist with a niche position within the hospitality and tourism industry. There is another approach to consider: Pick a minor because of the passion that exists with a particular topic of study. Having a strong minor sends me a message to hospitality employers: The student I am talking to went out of their way to give extra attention to something they really have an interest in. They may or may not have concrete plans about what to do with the minor in the real early years of employment, but the fact of having a minor gives a student – a prospective employee – a greater depth and breadth in the eyes of a prospective employer.
