<p>I want a degree but I ask myself why I am doing this if in the end my effort might not add up to anything since I did not do extracurricular activities.</p>
<p>If you earn decent grades, earn your degree, present yourself in a respectful manner, nobody will give a rats ass if you don’t list a single EC on your resume. </p>
<p>I was recently reviewing my resume with a career advisor, and I had a section titled “organizations and professional societies” which included a few memberships and one lone club I participated in for one year. He suggested removing it, and I did. It did not show my skills, experience, or talents. And it certainly did not provide a reference. </p>
<p>Bottom line: If you are learning, college is worth it.</p>
