<p>On the "Activities" section of the Common Application, my primary activity is my job (Grades 10-12) in which I earn $45-75/hour. In my opinion, this seems like a relatively impressive detail, but listing pay sounds somewhat pretentious.</p>
<p>Should I include it or not?</p>
<p>I wouldn’t include it. Include the details of what you do and for what purpose that would imply you make a good wage. It would be impressive for them to see you have a real job but may come off as pretentious if you list your salary.</p>
<p>No, do not list your hourly pay. </p>
<p>No, it may come off as you care too much about money. May cause resentment, they might not be impressed at all. Just focus on the activity and how you’ve learned from it, not technically, but as a person. How the experience helped you grow.</p>
