Transferable skills. Sometimes it's hard to draw parallels between a waitressing job and a project management job, but it can be done. There are skills in every job. Yes, every job. You could be working in a grocery store and there's nothing wrong with working in a grocery store. There are tons of skills you gain in a grocery store. Everything from prioritization to organization to soft skills. Aligning with your management on how you're going to set things up, being responsible and showing up on time. There are all sorts of skills and every single job you gain skills you just have to be able to look at them through the lens of the new job.
