Question About Slavery and the Civil War?
To Knowledge: The Civil War was clearly about slavery. The South secceeded from the Union because the north tried to say that no new states can have slaves and that slavery was bad. The South finally got fed up with the North's meddling in its affairs. Abolitionists like John Brown became terrorists and attacked trains with Southerners on them in Harper's Ferry. As far as what incentive did a Southern soldier have, well, for one, he didn't want free blacks to compete with him for jobs. That is the most basic incentive anyone could have. When is the last time anyone who replied to my question quit his/her job to graciously give it someone else more needy? None of your arguments make any sense. I still don't know what a northern white guy's incentive was during the Civil War.
Is hotel management a good course?
I had the same question when I joined IHMCT Trivandrum, the doubt was persistent throughout my college life.. During first year all I thought of was getting a well paid job after I graduate. By the time I finished my first semester did I realize that hotel industry doesn't pay its employees well in its initial years.Second semester was all about reassurances to myself that I hadn't made a mistake and becoming a chef was the dream. Little did I know that this dream will change drastically in just 17 weeks. We underwent internship in our 3rd semester, and my dream of over 5 years shifted tracks, the struggle was intense in the kitchen. I got my reality check that the chef life isn't really that glamorous.. but I found refuge at the bar, my new found love ‘liquor’(if you stare at a wine rack well enough you'll get hooked!).4th semester all I cared was to learn more and more about alcohol. And I'd say that I was pretty good at it.Time is a bitch when you're in college, 3rd year started and so did the interview sessions.. companies after companies. I got through with a lot of them, offer letters were lining up. They'd ask what I was comfortable with, I'd say liquor.. Boom!All the jobs paid you more or less the same and it wasn't good enough, I was still dicey about the hotel thing. This is when Bestseller came to our college, a retail giant from Denmark. I knew I wanted this and boy did I get it!I worked with Bestseller for 2 years. I was promoted thrice, the perks and incentives were good. My experience got me a seat in MBA. I'll be starting next month. (Wish me luck)Hotel Management is not everybody's muse. Not everyone is paid good initially. But I can assure you that it makes you a better person. You'll learn life skills there. I still cook, and mind you I cook well. My first management lesson was from a hospitality institute and I'm sure its gonna take me a long way.https://www.linkedin.com/company...
