@Viewer13128 No matter what kind of interviewer you're facing you will always be a more credible candidate as opposed to someone who has never worked a day in his life, that's for sure.
As far as how useful it'll be guess it depends on what job offers you are applying. For example, if you're going the medical field, maybe some experience in a hospital even just as a janitor would help. Maybe a job where you've experienced discretion or social interactions (customer facing jobs, like retail workers for example) would be beneficial too.
It also depends on how you market yourself. If you just go "well I served a bunch of teens at McDonald's for a bit" it won't be ground breaking, but if you manage to tie the 2 positions together that's when it becomes interesting. For example "serving customers was enriching, I often had to deal with unhappy people and had to find a way to deescalate the situation and find an agreement, i think it could help me deal with patients families in distress".
By experience alone I couldn't tell you about nothing else but software engineering. That's what I did, and I never had an issue in job interviews. At the end of the day your degree is only as valuable as everybody else's, you need to provide more value than the next candidate and your interviewer is gonna see 10s of people just like you for the same open position, be creative.
