I have been swimming since freshman year and I have a shot at making varsity this year. It seems that all my swimming freshman and sophomore year will have been in vain if I quit this year.



it will not have been in vain because you did something that you enjoy and I am quite sure you have learned some transferrable skills that have and will continue to serve you will. That said, the big question is

Are you looking to be recruited for swimming? If yes, then you will potenitally give up a lot if you give up swimming. If you are not looking to be recruited, then you have an EC that you participated in over a period of time.

Are you interested in agriculture or reseach? If yes, then having this job is an amazing opportunity especially when it comes to demonstrating interest in this field. If this is not what you are interested in doing long term, having a job is still a good thing especially if you are using the monies, to help defray your college cost or helping your family.

follow your passion because you seem to have a win-win situation.
