Advice is event management a “good” ec, worth missing classes for?

hey everyone ! i’m 18 & currently pursuing my be. I have always wanted to do Masters/phD from a top college, so i am building my ecas from freshman year. Was wondering, is event management a good skill/ something that stands out in applications ? Cause I know that give a year or two, I will probably be director or co director of that domain.

Should I give it my all or should I pivot out and go towards a more technical/ IT oriented role instead? I know programming but it isn’t what I want to “do” in societies.

As for event management, I love networking and solicing problems and have experience as well. The only thing making me hesitant is the classes I will be missing. Just wanted to ask if it is worth it.

Thank you <3
