Unless you are a basketball star, it should not make a difference as long as you have other activities.
The key is to show a variety of activities.
College's want students that are well rounded because statistics show that students who participate in after school activities will generally do better in college than those who don't. Since you have other activities you should be fine but check with the school you plan on attending. Good luck!
The job will be better. If they see that you maintained a high GPA WHILST going to college, that's a better rep for you.
