Los Angeles, California--(Newsfile Corp. - July 23, 2025) -  According to a recent poll by hospitality job platform OysterLink, 92% of respondents believe the younger generation lacks awareness about hospitality careers.

In reality, roles in restaurants, hotels, and tourism can lead to long-term, fulfilling career, but they take time, effort, and resilience to build.

"The challenge isn't the lack of opportunity-it's the perception," said Milos Eric, Co-Founder and General Manager at OysterLink. "We need to show that hospitality is more than a side job. It's a profession with growth, stability, and real impact. However, it's also a demanding path that requires real commitment."
