Is an internship in an unrelated domain always better than no internship at all?
I am a freshman student pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Data Science. I'm currently working on developing my programming skills via various MOOCs and also doing personal projects so I can start applying to good internships related to my field of data science and machine learning in a few months. Our college placement cell is always offering "internships" to students, they are mostly in the categories of either sales related (where we have to call people and inform them about a particular product generating leads) or academic counsellor positions in various colleges in our vicinity. I am very introverted and these kinds of roles do not generally suit me and mostly just stress me out. So coming to my question, while I develop my skills for a proper data science related internship, are these other internships even valuable to pursue, or are they probably just a waste of my time which I could divert elsewhere? (like upskilling in data science areas, or maybe just relaxing to avoid potential burnout)

How do you "level up" your current career to the career you've always dreamed about?
I'm a real big dreamer, and I see a gap between where I stand and where I want to be.

With that, I do have doubt whether or not action alone is all it takes to reach unimaginable heights. It feels like I'm taking baby steps towards a goal that's located in mars right now, and I'm asking what is needed to take flight and see more than just the horizon?
