They definitely look at jobs you had. In fact, that's probably why I got into college in the first place. By working, it shows that you have experience working with people and you're active within your community. I worked as an art camp counselor over the summer, and I'm going into art education. So that helped me out tremendously. Even if your job doesn't relate to what you want to do in the future, you still show that you're building skills and responsibility as well as time management.

Extra curriculars wouldn't hurt, but if you honestly don't have the time, you don't have to do it. Unless it's a strict college. But for many colleges just keep up with your grades, do good at work, and get a letter or recommendation from teachers and bosses if you want.

Don't worry, you'll be fine!

If you worked they look at it and the commitment you made to the place. ie. how long you have worked there and how people see you there. However if you didn't have a job but have good grades and do extra curricular activities it wont hurt you.
