No, because if you didnt care, you wouldnt meet the requirements, accept it, or go.. so it wouldnt even be on your resume. No one, for example, does a national for the money.

Because you dont make any money.

You wouldnt put out the EXTRA effort required to be seen, the money to go to the extra clinics, you wouldnt try to meet the requirements to be selected to begin with. All you would do is the minimum and cash your check. You care about building your resume and what you do to meet criteria if you are one who goes.. or you wouldnt even be there - because you wouldnt qualify.
