<p>I haven’t met a single college student yet who does such things simply because they want to load up their resume. Not to say there aren’t any out there, but it’s a very small number. I’m personally extremely involved around campus because I’m interested in what I do. My roommate, meanwhile, frowns upon anyone who “wastes” their time volunteering or working and thinks they’ll be the ones to fail out of college. Polar opposites, but I can’t say who’ll get the better job.</p>
<p>What I have noticed, however, are the differences between these groups of people. I was also involved in high school, and my roommate was not at all. I have better time management now because I’ve used to wrestling a dozen things at a time. I get work done faster, I push my hardest (since GPA mattered in HS to keep in clubs), I’ve developed pretty good social skills (from doing public relations and speech competitions), I have networks and know people from around the community who are more than willing to give me a job after I graduate. Again, not to say that people who aren’t involved can’t do these things, but it’s something I notice more in people who are involved. Employers don’t look through all your clubs and hire you based on that.</p>
<p>However, I agree with the person above who asked what you’re interested in since you seem to be apathetic about college life and ECs. What is it?</p>
