Not as vague as the classic young adults like to say when they've just finished school and are looking for a field of work: "I'd like to do something with media". ;) Something in the tourism industry should work out well for you, if that's your thing, shouldn't it?
Please correct my mistakes!

Yep, only PhDs, never master's theses. The master's program is pretty trivial, basically just two years of coursework.

That says more about your school's program than it does about Master's programs in general though.

What makes you so sure?

Did you have to defend your thesis, too?

Yeah.

If it wasn't for my change of major, I would have had to defend my bachelor's paper too. :P

Wtf? Isn't having to defend a PhD thesis enough stress already? :?

In theory I was even supposed to defend my BA thesis but I wasn’t in the country and on the day they said I didn’t have to even though earlier there was some talk of doing it over Skype.
