<p>By the end of the summer I will have worked over 100+ hours doing hard labor at a nearby farm. This is a job not volunteer service. I was wondering if this would be a typical thing to list on a college application when the time comes (I'm only an incoming sophomore).</p>
<p>put it under work experience</p>
<p>Will something like this look good on application or will college admission personnel merely glance over it?</p>
<p>i’d say it shows dedication, but always remember to o something because you enjoy it, not just because it looks good</p>
<p>Ok great thanks</p>
<p>List it. It’s good.<br>
The CA says: Please list your principal extracurricular, volunteer, and work activities in their order of importance to you.</p>
<p>Frankly, it’s not all about enjoyment- some of what you “should” be engaged in is about the responsibilities and your understanding of their value. They want you to make wise choices, too, not just pleasurable ones.</p>
<p>ps. if you learned something from this experience, it may make a good essay.</p>
