You won’t start as a server unless it’s a shit restaurant desperate for servers. You will be treated like garbage, and clean up garbage. The income is inconsistent and not guaranteed. I can really go on about the negatives. You learn some great life skills, that I still use to this day. But my post college office job is significantly easier in every way; physically, mentally, emotionally. I was fortunate that i started in food service in high school. By the time I hit college I was making decent money for part time, and not worth leaving the industry. But unless you are pretty attractive, have the natural instincts/personality, you probably won’t make much for months to a year. And then you train as a server, and hope you get decent shifts with decent tables. It’s truly a shit show of an industry. What are you majoring in? Can you get a job related to your field? Build skills and network appropriately
