At the expense of time to study?   Time in ECs?   Volunteer work?

Are you going to be a happier parent when your 16 year old can't come to Thanksgiving dinner at Aunt Carol's because they have to put in their 4 hour shift at Giant?[/quote]

A job is an EC activity. It’s extra to curricular activity.

It’s not 1990, folks. A crappy part-time retail job isn’t helping your kid get into a good college. Sorry to disappoint.[/quote]

Not all things are specifically geared toward getting into Harvard.[/quote]

Good thing nobody said anything about “getting into Harvard” then.

And, to repeat for the slow among you, this was in respond to someone hailing a job as an “EC activity.” Any idea where that phrase appears 99% of the time? Oh, right. In discussions of college admissions.   :roll: [/quote]

This board has proven to me that kids who have jobs in HS notoriously never get into college. It shows how poor they are and colleges only like the children of people who can get private SAT tutors and join a top swim club. If your child gets a job, their childhood is lost and they are doomed to a life of being a McDonald’s fry cook. There’s nothing to be learned or gained from working at a summer camp so they should definitely focus more on that 12th AP exam. Or they WON’T GET INTO COLLEGE and their life will be a failure.
