CC Student LinkedIn Questions

Hello all, just joined this site after lurking for a while and I have some questions about setting up my Linkedln profile. Some context - I am a current first year community college student looking to break into asset management, private equity, mergers etc. I will be at a 4 year university this fall (T20). I am setting up my Linkedln profile and I have a few questions:
1. I currently have no work experience like internships in the asset management field. However, I work a few jobs (fast food restaurant and tournament operations (gate, scorekeeping etc) for a large youth football organization that is nationally known). Should I list these jobs on my Linkedin? Or should I leave out the fast food job? I've seen mixed opinions on this and I'm curious as to what you guys have to say.

2. Should I leave my community college off my profile? I was involved in a few clubs there but nothing relevant to finance. The main reason I'm thinking of leaving it off is because instead I want for my 4 year university to be highlighted since it is a pretty big name. I've seen some people on this forum mention how attending community college directly out of high school may raise some red flags or questions which is why I'm not sure if I should include it.

All and any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance.

Leave the community college off. Fast food job can stay on, just try and get anything finance related this summer (could be remote, doesn't matter). Some people will really respect that you worked a real job, some won't care, but nobody worth working for will scoff at the fact you worked a restaurant job.
