<p>In another thread, you mention that you’re not interested in the college life. Now, you’re saying that you don’t have any interest to participate in EC’s, community service, or employment. What exactly are you interested in?</p>
<p>Most of the students who chose to volunteer do it because they want to do it. They feel as though they have a purpose on this earth. They help people and give back to the community while in turn, develop skills (organization, communication, working as part of a team, etc.) that will serve them well when they enter the job market. </p>
<p>Other students work part time jobs–for the money and for the work experience. As an employer, I’m not going to hire a kid without job experience. I don’t care if the work experience consists of washing dishes at a restaurant, flipping burgers at McDonald’s, ringing up groceries in the grocery store, or answering telephones and filing in an office. Work experience shows me that the kid has ambition, character, and some degree of communication skills. </p>
<p>EC’s in college don’t give you a meaningful edge in getting a job. However, participating in EC’s is a good way to meet and connect with other people. Some EC’s such as the school newspaper and school Radio/TV station give one an opportunity to hone some valuable skills. Other EC’s such as political clubs or multicultural clubs provide a forum for meaningful discussions and debates with students that you may otherwise never have met. </p>
<p>I agree with Naturally regarding your last sentence. The logic to the question doesn’t make any sense to me.</p>
