what's up you guys it's freetom here so today i'm talking about the salaries and the paychecks that
i've got in the united states so i decided to do the hotel management when i was in the 12 standard
as a school student i was thinking that how can i develop my skills and i was working on my english
back on the time so i really was thinking that about my career that what should i go
what sections should i work for in the future you know and what i decided that i need to go to work
in the hotel management because i was not really good at math on that time even though i like
commerce in the hotel management courses but i was not really good at math so i decided what is the
best way to me go abroad and work outside of india because i really wanted to travel and as my father
inspired me he was a truck driver before and now he's also doing his job but he inspires me a lot
to travel outside and know yourself and know the other people those who are in the world and
know the language and know the difference between the people so that's why i ended up deciding that
why hotel management because it's gonna give me the exposure to know myself and also have fun
working abroad even though it's a little bit sad that i need to stay away from my home but it's all
right i can manage so that's why i decided to choose uh pursue hotel management course which
is really blessings for me so i decided hotel management when i was in 12 standard that i
will pursue hotel management and then there was a lot of things going on i almost searched like
five colleges here and there and after going one college they are saying that we have this
course after going another college they are offering another course and the prize was
really differentiating in each colleges you know like i have been to iihm in india and i've been
to guru nanak's hotel management in india also but i studied from a small college which is not really
very popular on that time but i wanted to get my learnings as much as i wanted to go outside so
i decided the course free was really cheap on that time in that case i paid almost like four lakhs
and my father and my grandmom helped me a lot on that time so after that i decided
to go to that college on that time i did not really know that how much the salary potential
will be in this hospitality or maybe in hotel sector you're not gonna believe me but if you just
do a research there is a ton and tons of things that you can do not only hotel management not
only food and beverage front office has a kitchen there is a travel sector there is tourism there is
a lot of courses that can offer and feel free to ask me if you want more information about
any hotel management or hospitality because that's what i do and just to give you my information that
i come from in india and then i am here in the united states right now and i work as a cook i
started with the jw marriott then i started hyatt right now i'm working in a hospital which is also
a really good exposure to working in a health care community so in this video i will break down step
by step how much is the pay scale and how much do you need to think that you're gonna get in
the future if you pursue hotel management and do not forget to hit the like button and subscribe
my channel for youtube algorithm so number one you need to decide like why hm or why hotel management
so in my case what i did i decided that i really love to talk to other people i mean
not only bengali people because i am from west bengal cal prada but it's different because
i always interacted uh always wanted to interact with different people and i love to encourage them
to try our food and know our culture all sorts of things so when i decided that for myself and i was
also unsure that which department i go but the funny thing is my dad told me on that time that
you should you know you should pursue cooking because no matter how much you grow older
your experience grows older and there is a lot of professional people works in the hotel sector
which actually front of the house you might know the term front of the house means those who
interact with the guest so a lot of people who is in front of the house they're talking with people
they're serving people and it's also a glamorous thing to do and talking to people and stuff like
that but my dad was a bit skeptical on that time and he just told me to go with the culinary and
then what i choose i heard a lot of criticism from my seniors that you're not gonna end up
continuing this culinary thing because after you go to your internship as uh continuing my course
you will be really like pissed off of the culinary course and you're not gonna like it but after i
realized that i really liked the cooking thing and after i realized that i can make something out of
it and i had also a funny theory because i wanted to go to abroad and if my day will provide me some
accommodation and free food right that's what culinary is available for so i decided to go to
lucknow in india which is uh the capital of uttar pradesh and the hotel was clark's awad so all the
things bags dropped to another one decision that why you want to choose hm because it has a lot of
potentiality if you are continue to pursuing that course or maybe that degree or diploma that you
want to do so just think about it that what you are actually gonna do if you really want to do
do it i encourage you and there is a lot of information that you get from online and if you
are not willing to go to online if you want to ask me then you can ask me on my comment section right
now and i appreciate you and do not forget to hit the like button and subscribe my channel for

you want to go to hotel management and you know they are talking about oh only you're gonna cook
there and you're gonna whatever there is there is a lot of course people will speak a lot of
things about this course but at the end of the day hey who cares actually if you want to go outside
you can go outside like i came here in the united states pursuing my dream from india to united so
you need to decide that what section that you will work or what department you will work so speaking
of department there is four major department in the hotel management sector or maybe a hotel
sector that you will mostly learn from the college which is food and beverage another is front office
another in culinary and another is housekeeping so housekeeping is for you know there is a keeping up
the house maintain the maintain the rooms and stuff like that and front office is that i told
you before that those who deal with the guest in hand in person they represents a lot of part
of the hotel and culinary is the most important in my belief because i did culinary no offense i will
i will tell culinary is the backbone also but it also relies on interchangeable department stamina
so you need to think that all the department in the hotels are connected with each other
and at the end of the day you are just working for that hotel to make it grow and make it more
valuable to the guest so you need to decide if you are good talking with people then you might choose
front office and if you are thinking that you are practicing a lot of cooking lately and you are
have a subtle hobby for cooking so you should do it uh with culinary because it has a huge
potential i cannot tell you guys you can work in a michelin star restaurant and that is the mecca
that you will want it to work you know that's the best thing that can happen at cook's life working
in a michelin star restaurant and that's my goal to work in a michelin star restaurant someday
and you know who knows what happens but i'm still trying to pursue and i'm focusing on my goal so as
just you know you need to also pinpoint and narrow down your focus to any single department that you
really like just compare yourself if you like food and drinks then you should go with food beverages
something like that just compare yourself on the real life then choose your course so number three
is salaries or paychecks so after i got here in the united states there is a certain salary
divided already for the culinary intern or maybe food and beverage intern and every state like the
my state i i'm staying here in indiana which is a midwest it's really near to new york but
in my state the minimum wage is 11 so suppose if i started working i started working as a 10.50
so i started working 10 50 cents an hour i was making nearly 85 dollars in a day but that was the
very minimum wage of a culinary intern when you are just starting out fresh off the boat fresh off
your college these are the things that you need to make sure that your salary will really depend
at the beginning of your career just don't get discouraged and just because of your getting a low
salary you will gain experience and after those experience they will provide you more salary just
because you know a lot you know that makes sense so you need to continue grow up and you need to
continue to grow on your dedication on the sector that you want to work in and that will be really
valuable for you to get more money so suppose in the state of new york they have the minimum wage
of 15 dollar no matter it sounds a lot 15 an hour maybe it's a like 120 a day which is 8 000 rupees
in india today's date so but in new york it's a lot of expenses the foods the groceries the bills
all those things combined that's why some state have higher wages some state have lower
like in my state it's not really a expensive state i will say but it's also a moderate states to
live with your family and also you need to think of the expenses when you come here in the united
states suppose you're earning like i did right now i'm earning like 50 something cents and after
i earn i need to send money back home and also i'm paying my bills i'm paying my wi-fi my phone bills
nothing is free guys you need to make sure that you you work really hard for the money that you'll
get and also at the same time no matter what department you are going to work in you need to
make sure you give your hundred percent so just choose right away that what is gonna be really
better for you at the end of the day you will be telling yourself that okay this is gonna be better
for me i will do this i will do a degree if you are can and i will do diploma if you have the time
if you don't have the time the diploma is the better but it's also less money but it will make
a difference in your life so number four will be the average salary package for a culinary intern
so i will tell you the average salary package what i saw on online if i googled it then i will see
that 25 118 was the average salary package if you're just starting out as a fresh off the boat
and fresh off the college if you're just starting out so maybe it's depends that's as i mentioned
all the states have their different packages and all the things are different dividing the states
here so you might ask me that uh in india because i really did not get a chance to work in india
but you're not gonna believe me that i work for only thousand rupees a month in lucknow on my
internship days which i was selected from my college with eight more friends and we all had
to work really hard on that time because they were working as an employee we were working more than
employees of the hotel but we are getting paid like peanuts
nothing nothing compared to that but on that time i learned a great lesson that no matter
how effort how much effort you put into the work you need to also think smartly and make things
do really smartly so that you don't have to work on that job another time so make your own decision
but at the end of the day i can advise you guys that hotel management is still got it because no
matter what happens what's the sickness outside we will come back stronger than ever and feel free to
ask me any question about the hotel management and regarding hospitality something like that
