Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine both the positive and negative aspects of work experiences impacting hospitality students while completing their academic degrees. A nationwide sample of senior-level hospitality students and hospitality graduates from 31 leading programs participated in this survey research. The students and graduates identified their educational experiences and common types of work experiences, as well as the impact of these experiences on their academic performance, advancement expectations, and career preparation. Statistically significant differences were found between students and graduates, providing a foundation for understanding overall work experiences and the benefits and challenges faced by students.
