Really any extracurricular activity is good.

If you want to learn how to manage a billion dollar company, go to business school. If you want to learn how to start a billion dollar company with only 300 bucks in the bank and a seven year old laptop, join the rowing team.


I agree with everything in this post. Also, stage acting gives you something very other things do--working together, face to face, with other people on a common problem. Helping each other, giving advice, and also being responsible for your own performance. What other activity does this?
