Is a degree in Hospitality worth it?

So let me just start by saying that the Hospitality industry is my passion.
Yes, I am the same person who posted questions about being a nurse and a medical technologist, but they weren’t things that I really and truly wanted to do. I’m sorry if you guys are getting tired of my questions :/
Hospitality (hotels, airlines, transportation, travel) has interested me since I was very little. It’s something that I actually like to do, even down to scheduling, booking tickets and the like.
I’m wondering, though, if it would be wise to get a degree in Hospitality, or if it would be better to just get an entry-level job at a hotel. I was thinking about getting an Associate’s degree first, and seeing how everything works out before getting a Bachelor’s degree. I would love to study the industry, and have a good idea of the ins and outs of Hospitality management and tourism, but I’m wondering if it would be wise to spend the time and money on it.
Do you think that a degree in Hospitality is worth it?
