Australian Kiwi... in the hospitality industry

So, you have probably already worked out from the title that I am considering career options both for now and for my future. Since I deferred uni, I've been wondering if I acctually, really, want to go to university again next year. I've been looking at other options for myself and one of those options that I'm particually interested in is work in the hospitality industry as a front of house staff member (e.g. waitress). I would not stay a waitress forever, but am considering doing certificates in hospitality as I move up, or I might decide after a few years that this is not for me and go on a completely different path. But, for now, it's just a thought.
