PERSEVERANCE IS KEY

One thing that is difficult for us the youth swallow is the fact that this industry of ours is difficult to penetrate and to be earn large salary over night. You have to work for years and make a name for yourself, before you can earn a large salary. Perseverance is very important especially in tourism because if you do not persevere you will not be happy to you it will be just a job to pay the bills. In this generation we can no longer afford to work for the sake of working, we have to enjoy what we do because we have so many opportunities waiting for us to utilise them.   

The salary scale for entry level in this industry R2000 to R7000, if you’re lucky you can earn more than that. If you want R15000 to R20000 as a start this may not be the right industry for you. Even when you start your own business it will probably take at least five years before you start making profit. Although exciting and challenging perseverance is the key ingredient in order for you to survive in this industry.
