I used to live in a touristy area and there was a similar phenomenon with waitresses in the city center - the only issue was that after a few years the waitresses were let go because the employers picked prettier ones as a replacement. A colleague of mine from highschool got hit hard by that, as she thought she'll surely not be one of those that get replaced. She had to take her lifestyle a few good notches down with no higher ed and just waiting experience. She would have had no issues with getting a degree, she was smart but naive.
