Hi Gabrielle,
First off all that is such a brilliant question. It shows that you care about not just the work but how what you do will impact those who come in contact with you.
To be successful in any business/industry starts with your mindset. There are many persons who are brilliant academically but their mindset is not the most positive.
You also want to define what success looks like for you… not just what everyone else is saying “success” is… really sit with it and ask yourself… what does this mean to me? How do I want to show up? What experience do i want people to have when they are in my presence and after they leave how do I want them to feel?
Gabrielle a positive mindset will allow you to be far greater successful than you could ever imagine.
Therefore my suggestion is to start with auditing/work on your mindset then work on the skillset and you will see how much difference it will make in any career path that you take.

Hello Gabrielle!
First, you will want to be in some kind of hospitality position. If you want to work in food and beverage, work as a server; if you want to work in hotels, work at the front desk; if you want to work in theme parks, work at an attraction. While doing so I would recommend getting a degree at a school that leads in hospitality. A couple of excellent ones are University of Houston Hilton School and University of Central Florida Rosen College. Most large hospitality companies now will either pay for school or help pay for it in some way. Next you will want to be a sponge and learn as much as you can. Knowledge is power in this industry. Also, networking is vital as well. Half of my success has been due to people that I have met along the way. Patience is also a virtue, if you work hard don't try to rush and show too much ambition your hard work will show and your leaders will have a plan for you. Oh, and last tidbit, gossip is tempting in this industry, just be careful what you talk about and who. Good luck!
