[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jobs are the new "volunteer in Africa". That worked for a while when it is new. AO's got wised up. Needed something else. Now jobs it is to show lack of privilege. You take your $1200 iphone and $300 ipods and $200 sneakers to do a job, thereby showing your humble down to earth, lack of privilege, etc.

Give it a couple of years, AO's would wise up to this. Then to something else.

They are not. [b]Teenagers have been getting summer jobs forever. It was the most normal thing in the world before all the pre-college, academic camp, internship hysteria hit. Nobody gets into a top college because they had a job busing tables. But they do grow up, Manage responsibility, deal with all kinds of people etc and these are all important things to be able to do if you expect to be successful in a profession someday. [/b]Colleges aren’t giving medals for kids having grungy summer jobs, they want future graduates who will be leaders and make the school look good.[/quote]

+1 Your kid shouldn't have a summer job to get into a T10. They should get a summer job because it is good for their personal development, wherever they end up.[/quote]

Since this is a forum for discussing college admission, people here focus on that purpose.  Everyone understands that job is good for personal development.  [/quote]
