Office Aide

Hi, does being an office aide have any benefit towards college applications if it doesn't count for anything like experience or community service or should I take a credit class instead even if it has a potential of lowering my GPA since I have above a 4.0?

Being an office aid is a valuable extracurricular experience for your applications! It shows that you have maturity and the work ethic to hold down a job at a young age. Office aide positions teach a lot of important skills that apply to almost any career as well. This activity will definitely benefit you more than taking another class, especially if it lowers your GPA. Hope this helps!
