I worked all throughout my undergrad career and I want this to be reflected appropriately. I have held several professional/dental type jobs, but not enough to fill up all 5 spaces on the DS application. Should I include a service type job (waitstaff/cashier/cook) or leave it off? Thank you for your opinions!

Definitely include it.

I think having worked a service type job is a great asset! The lessons learned are invaluable. Definitely include it.

Thank you! I honestly believe the interpersonal skills I gained made the jobs worthwhile, but I wasn't sure if schools only wanted professional experience. I appreciate the input. I will include them!
