Life in a hotel
I will soon be graduating from ASU and I currently work for a hotel in Scottsdale. My goal is to stay with that company and keep advancing until I make enough money to support a family. My degree is in Urban and Metropolitan Studies with a minor in Parks and Protected Areas Management. My degree could probably land me a job with a municipality but I don't think I want to work and be paid with tax payer dollars. My degree has given me a great theoretical base for my life, but I am afraid, few practical applications. I know the history of cities but I don't know where to take this knowledge. Maybe it is my fault for not being more involved in my school and attempting to delineate more information from my professors. Either way, I am happy with my education and I look forward to the opportunities it has given me.

Congrats on your graduation! Graduation can be a confusing time. I too find myself wondering what skills I've managed to glean from my graduate studies. While I've enjoyed learning about public administration, I've learned that I don't particularly want to work for the government. Sometimes knowing what you don't want to do (like work for a municipality) is just as valuable as knowing what you do want to do. It's the small victories, right? Best of luck to you :)
