Maine is the largest New England state, and is bordered by Canada, New Hampshire, and the Atlantic Ocean. We all know what Maine is most famous for -- Lobsters! Tourism is also a mainstay of the economy; hospitality management graduates may want to look into running or owning a bed and breakfast or a getaway-from-it-all spa.
Head cooks and chefs do quite well in Maine; the mean hourly wage in 2004 was $18.41, or $38,290/year. Jobs in the food services industry are expected to grow 14.5%; jobs in the accommodations industry are expected to grown 14.5% from 2002-2012.
