People who think seriously about the job and its implication on their lives and the lives of others are exactly the kind of people that you want to do it. You would be very good at it because of your ability to look at different sides of things without being instantly judgmental or putting your own agenda on the table first.
If you feel it is going to detract from your education or experience, you should not do it.
Having said that, I am a little bitter than in my years of college only one person, a professor, ever expressed any concern about how I was doing as a person. I never felt that anyone made themselves available to me if I had a problem. Being an SSA would put you in a position to be helpful to many, and perhaps very helpful to a few. If you approach it with the attitude of being of service to others, it could be an enriching personal experience.
