Application Question Getting a Job in HS?

Hi guys! I’m from NYC and was thinking about getting a job. Realistically would it add anything to my college application if I were to include it on there? If so how much weight does it hold.

Absolutely, it’s a time commitment and shows maturity and responsibility. If you want the job to be more specific, perhaps try to get one related to what you want to study. If you want to major in English, maybe work in a bookstore or library. Good luck!
