What are your guys’ thoughts on high school resumé chasing? Asking because some of my friends are deep into the hole and constantly worrying what they’re doing isnt good enough and they arent good enough. They do thousands of things they dont enjoy for boosting their resumes. Obviously, on the flip side, if you are hard working and you get into a good college you have the potential to do a lot in the world, so maybe all the effort towards things you arent really passionate about is worth it?
I personally used to be a heavy resume chaser but after a significant event and some other self discovery junior year I am just focusing on my passions, but I want as many disparate perspectives on this as possible.
Something that you achieve highly in will be more impressive than thousands of things where you are just part of the scenery.
