[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Supposedly, colleges do value this. For the obvious reasons of learning responsibility and general work ethic. I have not seen it help much myself. [/quote] I have't seen this at all. And we know kids who worked year round and had great grades but lackluster ECs (bcs: job) and they were not rewarded. [/quote] And the irony is that colleges bend over backwards to pick disadvantaged kids but when they’re comparing one with a job, they don’t seem to give it any weight. The kids who did the unpaid internships still get the boost - the ones that actually cost mom and dad money and therefore require privilege. [/quote]
