Personally I include the education section since I have an education despite that it is in a completely different field (technical construction). The reason being that it is showing commitment in those early years. I also include my mandatory military service as the first item under work experience even if I at this time leave out things between as an aggregate, as that implies a willingness to show deference to authority (something that is rarely talked about publicly but incredibly appreciated by management and by extension the readers of CVs).
Hope that helps.
