Job ExperienceAnswered
I've never had a job before, but I know that that's something college admissions like to see. I plan on majoring in music; I play clarinet. Would having a job that relates to music have more of an impact on my chances of getting into college than an unrelated one? One of my friends works at an instrument repair shop, and I was thinking I could try to get a job like that too. But I don't think I could manage to get as good grades as I do if I were to get a job right now, even if I just worked on weekends. Should I still try to get job experience? Should I get a summer job so I don't have to worry about it interfering with school?

Hello, I think you should get a job during the summer so it does not interfere with schoolwork, as that is another thing colleges look at. I also believe that working with your friend at an instrument repair shop would be a great idea, as it will give you the experience
