Ten Reasons to Love the Hospitality Industry
Larry Mogelonsky | June 27, 2018
By Larry Mogelonsky, MBA, P. Eng. (www.hotelmogel.com) Have you ever sat back for a moment to reflect on the hotel business and what first drew you to it? With all its ups and downs, could you think of any other business you would rather be in?

(www.hotelmogel.com) The office-casual nature at most contemporary workplaces seems to be far more amiable to the sweater and jeans attire, with nary a collared shirt even under the slightest of considerations. Given this trend spurred on by the younger generations, it would seem as though the necktie is on its way out from regular usage. Being of a more 'scholarly' age, donning a suit and tie comes naturally to me. Looking in the mirror, I selfishly feel at least a bit more professional in demeanor with a psychological boost in tow.
