<p>Hey guys I'm a rising senior.</p>
<p>Should I volunteer at a local hospital or work at a restaurant this summer?</p>
<p>I have like 6 hours of community service...but I could also use the money. =D</p>
<p>Or maybe I can do both. Work on weekday afternoons and volunteer in the morning on weekends? But then what about college visits during the weekend...hm I'll need to rearrange something.</p>
<p>Or how about working M, W, F and volunteering T and H each morning. The weekends will be open for chillin', apps, visits, w/e. But mostly the chillin'.</p>
<p>Suggestions? Advice?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>It depends on your interests...say you want to major in biology, then the hospital one would count for more. But if you can do both, go for it</p>
<p>The restuarant job won't typically improve your chances at competitive schools. It is your decision though.</p>
<p>i'm sure colleges would appreciate you doing as much as you can, but if it was between one or the other, i would chose volunteering. :D</p>
<p>I don't know if you guys have actually volunteered at hospitals. It is the most boring, useless job ever. If you're going to volunteer, at least volunteer where you are actually needed.</p>
<p>it's only boring if there are a) no other kids there or b) adults who actually give a damn about the volunteer rules.</p>
<p>Do what you will have fun doing. I'd do both.</p>
<p>thanks for the input</p>
<p>i think i'm doing both</p>
<p>if one thing ends up sucking...then at least it'll only be every other day?</p>
<p>or you could just stop doing it lol</p>
