In some countries young people are encouraged to work or travel for a year between finishing high school and starting university studies. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for young people who decide to do this?

In less conservative countries, high school graduates are urged to travel or work for at least a year prior to continuing their tertiary studies. Despite the drawbacks that comes with it, I do believe that there are a lot of benefits from working or travelling before entering university. One of the major disadvantages that conservative countries believed in is that students will lose the interest in studying. The rationale behind is that, once they started earning money and live independently, they will eventually feel that there is no need for

further

studies.
