<p>Is it necessary for colleges? I mean, I won't have any work experience per se (paid jobs), but I will have had two internships and volunteer positions when I apply to college.......Should I get a paid job next summer at, say, a bookstore, instead of an unpaid internship?</p>
<p>I don't know.</p>
<p>this may seem rude, but why bother posting then?....sorry</p>
<p>i can't say it matters too much. as long as colleges can tell that you aren't a lazy good for nothing bum... </p>
<p>well, you could probably get into most places even if you were.</p>
<p>artic monkey- your post was about as helpful as the one above it. why did <em>you</em> bother posting</p>
<p>Yeah, I was going to say. Way to detract from your own thread. In fact, I was more inclined to respond to that than to your post.</p>
