<p>EC’s dont just matter in high school… I’d say they are important in college as well as someone in the working world. My company flew 20 employees + a guest per person to a resort in California a few years ago for a 5 day paid vacation… They were chosen based on the amount of volunteer work they did in a year. They didn’t tell them about the trip ahead of time either… so people couldn’t start volunteering to get a free vacation out of it.</p>
