text: Some may say that being a part of an extracurricular is good for students' futures, but half of extracurricular activities won't aid students in finding a career. Most extracurricular activities will only teach students what they need to know if they want to be a teacher or sponsor for that same extracurricular activity when it is time for the students to get a job. Extracurricular activities are really for students who have extra time and energy that they are willing to put into the activity. Being a part of an extracurricular is not necessary for your future, and will not guarantee students a career.
