If the hotel pay is low, then they would not have many takers for open positions..and they would eventually have to increase the wages that are paid.
Maybe someone with more eloquence can chime in here, but I can't let this go without commenting. True, not everyone is "forced" into any position, it is not true that all opportunities are open to all people. I'm not willing to accept the theory that just because I was able to go to undergrad and graduate school that everyone else should be able to. There are a multitude of reasons for people, good people, being stuck in their jobs. (just a few: lack of funds for further education, lack of time due to family obligations, lack of reliable transportation, etc.)
