<p>If you don't need the money, is it more well-regarded to have a paid job or have a volunteer opportunity? Think top colleges. Thanks.</p>
<p>Job = Shows you can balance your academics and work. Money management, maybe?
Volunteering = Giving back to the community, etc</p>
<p>Depends on what the job is and what the volunteer work is.</p>
<p>If you don’t need the money, pick whatever you’re more interested in and do that.</p>
