text: Yes.  You can get management experience working in ANY field.\n\nThink about it - whatever job you have, you have a manager, right?  How do you think that person got the job?  By first having your job and being promoted.\n\nSo, get a regular old job, preferably at a business that's growing fast, and work hard at it.  Don't goof off like the other employees.  Act responsible and help the more junior/newer employees when they don't know how to do something.  This will mark you apart from your co-workers as someone who can handle the responsibilities of management, and you'll probably soon be trained into an assistant manager position, and from there, you'll be gaining management experience.
