Waiting tables is a waste of time as a college student. There are paying part time jobs with companies that will allow you to work. 


Even if you pay cash for your degree and graduate with zero loans?

My school money came from waiting tables/bartending.

Definitely wasn't going to pay for school working 20hrs a week @ $10/hr at internship.

It's ok though because I did both. Anyone who says you can't just doesn't have the drive to do so.

Same. I worked 2 internships in my field at LSU (not at the same time) making $10/hour. That's not shite. So after I got experience there, I went on to wait tables and bartend.

I'd have never been able to have the lifestyle I prefer had I not worked for actual money throughout college. Also - as great as my internships looked on my resume, the service industry jobs are how I made the connections to land my first post-collegiate job.

Service industry also gave me a work ethic I don't often see matched.
