I’m going to major in either accounting, finance, or economics and I’m currently in FBLA and planning on doing DECA and FBLA next year (junior year in high school)

Is it even worth it? I’ve heard that these look very good on college applications but I want to know if any of you guys have prior experience with either of these

for those unfamiliar:

FBLA - Future Business Leaders of America

DECA - Distributive Education Clubs of America

Both are pretty much the same concept. It’s a business competition for students where you take a test and or present whatever prompt you get for your subject and you can qualify to go to Regionals -> State -> Nationals -> Internationals
