Is work experience necessary for university application?

Should I put work experience on University application? I am still in highschool and I heard putting work experience and volunteer experience would make my resume look good. I volunteer outside school twice a week regularly and I am involved in several school clubs such as school newspaper and plays. But, I don’t have a job and never thought of getting one since I don’t usually spend nor need money for shopping or anything like that. Should I get a job just to show that I am experienced and wellrounded??

If you already do volunteer work, then don’t get a job for the sole motivation of getting into college. Volunteer works shows that you are involved already. Along with your other clubs. Unless you have time and energy to burn and have a deep seated urge to get a job then don’t. It is okay to sleep every once and a while.
