<p>All I see are "laundry lists" of ECs.
Come on...no jobs?
I may not have pages and pages of good looking ECs, but I've worked since I was 15. I understand some selfless volunteering is good, but what do you do after/during college? work
Anyone else?</p>
<p>i know of people with jobs...</p>
<p>i'm pretty much depending on my work experience to make up for weak ECs. but i'm also not your average smart kid. most of the kids on here probably don't have jobs. jobs take up valuable time they could be spending on cc! and school work</p>
<p>I had a job.</p>
<p>My son (senior in high school) works approx 10 hours per week during the school year and 30 - 40 hours per week during the summer. It was the topic of one of his essays. </p>
<p>My oldest is a sophomore at Cal. He works on campus approx 10 hours per week during the school year and fulltime during the summer.</p>
<p>DD has a job too, but from what I read UCs do not give a lot of credit to a job unless you need the money to help support your family. It seems to give more credit for Community Service.</p>
