No it’s not just something fruitless imo. So for some of my schools, I hadn’t necessarily finalized a gap year job till August and that’s what I said - that I’m finalizing one, but I’ll most likely be doing X job (I was like 99% guaranteed to get the job) . I ended up being employed in X job as said but now I have experience doing more things than I thought I’d be doing. Additionally I have community service/hobby stuff but mainly wanted to let them know my gap year is going as planned and I’m not just sitting around doing nothing lol.
