I need some advice. Should I or should I not get a part-time job once I get back at school?
This will be my junior year in college and I am taking 17 credit hours. I am also the secretary of a good size club on campus. I am a member of two other clubs. I volunteer about 5-10 hours a week, and I usually baby-sit at least once every week or every other week. I’m worried that if I don’t get a part-time job this year that it will look horrible when I go to apply for grad schools. On the other hand, I feel like taking a full load of classes and volunteering with kids in the community and actively participating in 3 clubs is enough. Should I go ahead and get a job or should I just focus on what I have on my plate already?

You need to get a job because when you actually need a job and go for an interview people will be looking for job experience and not what you volunteered for, no matter how long you did it for.
Slow down on the clubs and stuff and get a job. Once you’ve gotten that, look at how much extra time you have on your hands and then start the volunteer work again.

I believe you should get a part-time job and take those classes which you belive are truly necessary, or simply take those classes at some other time. I believe you should work, but then again, who wouldn’t be impressed with what you have accomplished or are doing for your education? I think anything will look good on your application or resume, as long as you have good grades and an outstanding behavior, especially what you are doing now. I think that schools mostly look at grades and behavior overall.

When you’re taking a lot of credits in college, is better just to foncus on your studies. But you can only do that by being able to afford college without working. In my case, I’m taking 14 credits and I need to work so I have no other choice, but if I were to choose to work and study and just study, I’d definitely chose just study.
Wish you the best.

Well, do you need more money too? I think you should go for a job that doesn’t require that much time but pays well too.
