2 1/2 year job vs. Clubs

[usafacademy4]

Well, my situation pretty much simple, but I have a few questions. I have had a great, steady job for 2 and a half years now, during school and during summer. I love my job and love working for my own money. But, this also inhibits my ability to take leadership positions in school clubs. Right now, I do hold the position of Treasurer in the Spanish Club, and I am members of many other clubs (Beta Club, Spanish National Honor Society, Class of 2011 Executive Board, and some others). I also hold a leadership position in Civil Air Patrol. So my questions are:

1) Does the Academy take into consideration that I do have a job and I work 3 out of the 5 school days during the week?

2)If I were to take another leadership position in another club, I believe that I would not be able to do my best because of my work schedule. So, should I still go out for one and try my best, or should I just keep my schedule and resume the way it is right now?

Thank you so much for any suggestions and comments!

I'm not sure how West Point looks at that but my oldest son goes to a top-notch state university and they LOVE applicants who work and go to school. It shows time management, dedication, and maturity.

There is a place on the Candidate Activities Record to record how many hours/week and weeks/year during the summer and school year you work. West Point definitely takes a job into account, but you'd have to ask a MALO to find out just how helpful a job might be to your application.
