How will colleges view my academic profile?
So I accepted the apprenticeship for the rail company. But the problem is that it's every other day. (My school is set up as an A/B day with different classes on either day. So I go to the apprenticeship one day, and go to school the other.) So I can't take all the classes I want to. It looks like a great opportunity to get my foot into the door for the engineering industry, and it pays $10/hour for my first year, $11.50/hour my second year, and $13/hour my third year. I get an associates out of it and a guaranteed job after it. It's the first apprenticeship in the state, so I'd be one of the very few (12 or so) pioneers. But I will also have to quit my job that pays $9.00, and the people there are really fun. I can't take any AP classes during school, and I'll have to take online classes after school to catch up on credits. I'm just curious how colleges and employers will view it. I'm also doing cross country. So will it look better if I do an apprenticeship (It might be fun and has good training, but I honestly probably won't complete the three years)? Or, will a strong academic record with athletics and an after school job look better? #college #engineering #career #computer-science #medicine #science #technology #engineer #tech #college-major #education #biology #any #math #acting #mechanical-engineering #mechanical #english #aviation #military #chemistry #robotics #physics #airline-industry #biomedical-engineering #information-technology #writing #high-school #aerospace-engineering #pilot #aeronautics #ap #navy #author #marine #army #band #community-management #air-force #schedule #marines #armed-forces #hashtag #pathway #airline #career-pathway #fighter-pilot #raptor #civil-air-patrol #first-responder #business #fun #apprentice
