Depends on what you want to do. 2 is probably out. 1 and 3 wouldn't require you to do much in the way of learning the trade - you won't be handling/dispensing drugs or prosecuting people - probably sweeping up and making photocopies. Neither are all that useful.

You don't need a job. It is one component of a package. A lot will also depend on where you want to go to college. Some of the large state universities will focus on SAT or ACT scores, GPA and class rank, and might not even look at a resume or list of activities. Your package consists of your test scores, your academic profile, your essay, recommendations, an interview if you have one with an admissions office, and activities including clubs, community service and any sports. It's hard to see how having a job at a fast food restaurant would be weighted by a college more than building houses for Habitat for Humanity, right? The package doesn't have to be 100% complete to make you a very desirable candidate. On the other hand, if you're looking for discretionary scholarships and grants, a scholarship review panel might decide that you should have gotten a job and tried to earn some money to pay for school instead of being in that anime club...but you're getting into very subjective assessments. Consider putting your community service in the employment area, as uncompensated employment, or leave it blank. Neither one should hurt you at all if you have other stuff in your package that looks good.

THis is just my opinion for what it is worth. My degree is in chemistry and I am a supervisor so I do have a say in hiring.
Attorney general's office first but
pharmacy would be a close second
None of these jobs will take the place of good SAT scores or a good high school GPA.

I think hard work, punctuality and good character can be recognized in any job. However, the third option is probably best, depending on what career you are going to.
Also, work on your punctuation - should be colleges (not 's).
