Answer 1

Absolutely. If you can remain employed there, you already have experience working in the industry even if its not your exact job. In other words, you are committed to the industry and familiar with the corporate lifestyle. Something a prospective employer is bound to respect.

Currently, I am changing careers and have a new second degree in the same industry as yours. I have heard that an internship would help me to get my foot in the industry ...so if you can accomplish that while completing college I would say the future looks pretty good for you. :)

Answer 2

Yes, and it might help you make the connections you need to get an eventual job in the field. That well-paid job as a waiter won't.
