What are worthwhile extracurricular activities in college?
ShabbyDoo: Most extra-curriculars are contrivances, designed either explicitly or implicitly to convey some false sense of campus culture to the public at large, alumni, or even the student body itself.  I know little of college athletics, so I'll stay away from that category of activity.  What's left are a bunch of campus clubs.  Since when has the student government had any real power?  It either plans homecoming week or takes political positions on issues over which it has no control (like South African politics).  Does being student body president get you anything in life?  Yup.  Those who have an incentive to legitimize this false system might accept you into law school or some other graduate program which can result in real, tangible outcomes.  However, you will likely better yourself more by volunteering for a real campaign for a real elected office instead.Fifteen years ago, I was my dorm's food service council representative.  No, I'm not kidding!  Every month, I went to a meeting where representatives of the firm who contracted with the university to provide food for $800/semester tried to pretend to care what a bunch of kids said about their over-cooked burgers.  Actually, they seemed to legitimately care, and I learned a lot from the experience.  What I learned was how helpless those managers were when it came to changing the behaviors of their minimum-wage staff.  Once, a student said that his dorm-mates wanted more kinds of cereal at breakfast time.  Immediately, it was promised that the number of cereal bins would be doubled!  Then, when another student wanted the grill to actually be staffed during lunchtime (often, employees would take long breaks whenever they felt like it), management said vaguely that they would consider their options.  That they would spend hundreds on frivolity but wouldn't attempt to control their employees left a strong impression on me and has influenced how I consider the behaviors of other managers I encounter in life.Did being on the food service committee help me out in any direct way, like getting a good job?  Nope.  I would have been better off finding something more real to do where the outcome of my work meant something.  Start an on-campus computer repair company, whatever....  I learned more from doing IT work for a small commercial roofing company during a couple summers than I did in any on-campus activities with official, paid advisers.In a nutshell, the contrivances of college life might provide benefit, but the hours spent are less fruitful than those filled with "real" stuff.  YMMV if one wants to impress a law school admissions officer or similar.Edit: I didn't really address the "for an entrepreneur" part, but I think my comments still apply.
