        That's the only reason I was in any orgs at all in HS or college. And even then, I preferred to just have a job once I learned that colleges/employers saw that as an acceptable substitute for extracurricular activities because: 1.) that paid actual money and 2.) it wasn't just obviously make-work bullshit for busybody rich kids.

        Nothing is wrong with that, I just don't think that it's an indicator of anything that people want it to indicate, i.e., that the kids are alright and will save us and do the revolution.
