Summer plans (Need help)

Applying to College
1

<p>Hi,
I'm a junior trying to decide what to do this summer. I've worked since middle school at the same summer camp ($), but I'm not sure if I should go for something more this summer.</p>

<p>I'm an aspiring journalist by the way, but I want to major in economics, or something liberal arts(ish)</p>

<p>Should I continue working at this same place and take a college class or two at the local state university with maybe another weekend job/volunteering mixed in
or
Should I try to pursue a journalist internship (which I maybe could do because I have connections and some significant journalistic experience)?</p>

<p>I feel like colleges would value the consistency of me sticking with my camp job (and I would be able to fit in classes I've always wanted to take) but I'm not sure....</p>

<p>Anyone have any advice?</p>

<p>I think both options are good, but personally I would try to get the journalist internship and keep the other job as a back up. I don’t think the consistency would be that big of a factor, but it’s great that you’ve been productive with your summers. Already having experience in the field you want to pursue in college will look great.</p>

<p>Try the journalist internship, and if that doesn’t work out, you have the summer camp to fall back on.</p>

<p>Go for the internship. Good Luck!</p>
