Lab experience in field other than intended major useless?

Applying to College

<p>I currently intern at a microbio lab and i do lots of stuff, most of which involve like chemistry lab setups and stuff.</p>

<p>but i wanna become an engineer, but what i do at the microbio lab is the only lab opportunity ive been able to find. can it help me or would it be seen as irrelevant?</p>

<p>Keep the gig while you look for something in your preferred area as any experience is good. Doing something is better than nothing.</p>

<p>And what if you change your mind about engineering and this work becomes more relevant?</p>

<p>does the fact that i have lab experience mean anything or is it useless cuz its not directly in the physical sciences?</p>
