<p>Getting a part time job is important when an employer looks over your resume. It shows work history and experience. They are more likely to hire someone that has a vast amount of dedicated work ethic than a student that has a bunch of extracurriculars at college.</p>
<p>Plus you get paid, so that’s always a plus.</p>
<p>I don’t participate in volunteering either because I don’t feel like I’m getting anything back. Call me selfish, but I have better things I could be doing with my time. I do however, get involved in private activities and sports. I wouldn’t put them on a resume because employer simply don’t care about that aspect of your personal life.</p>
<p>College life isn’t for me either which is why I live at home and have absolutely no connections with my school (with the exception of classes). I’m happy and productive.</p>
