<p>Hi, i work around 20-24 hours weekly. However, i work at my parent's business and we aren't poor. We are probably closer to middle class and i am just trying to help them save money for my college fees so i dont actually get paid. I am still involved in clubs and play two sports but not as much as i could if i didn't have a job. Will colleges still like me working even though i dont get paid and i'm not exactly poor?</p>
<p>Well I don't know how they will know that you're not compensated, and no matter how wealthy or poor, colleges appreciate applicants which have a job. It shows that they are responsible enough to keep a job and are able to multitask.</p>
<p>2 books that I've read so far said they like you to at least hold a job over the summer, not idling.</p>
