<p>My friends parents are business owners who have a company selling various items. They recently hired me to work for their company doing random tasks such as a sales associate or computer manager. The thing is, this company is not a formal company like wawa or any other job. Would colleges still count this as a summer job if I worked for my friends parents?</p>
<p>Yes, it still provides you valuable experience. So what if they don’t have formal documentation, plenty of students self employ themselves without and “get credit” for their work.</p>
<p>So if I worked at Wawa for the summer, or if i worked at this company for the summer. Colleges would see them as the same?</p>
<p>not sure what “Wawa” is, but working this job would still be good for the experience.</p>

<p>That made me lol. I never thought about it, but I guess Wawa is somewhat regional? Anyway, I think they’d be viewed as the same.</p>
<p>Wawa is a supermarket chain, the stores are smaller, in the size of 7-11.</p>
<p>I’d say working for your friends family will gain more dynamics and be better off for your own enrichment.</p>
<p>Wawa is regional, but I never realized it either… I was in Texas recently and was unable to locate the Wawa equivalent (Valero maybe?). You know, the classier gas station with a deli, good travel food, etc.</p>
<p>Haha, well i know i probably gain more experience. But I KNOW that colleges like to see a summer job. And would they still consider this a summer job just like if i applied to a famous chain company?</p>
