the few countries

where the younger generation is encouraged

to do

Suggestion

doing

some job or visit different places before starting higher studies at University level and after completing their school qualifications.

This

trend has both its pros and cons which will be discussed here.

Firstly

, the biggest advantage of

this

trend is that it gives the much needed exposure to the individual. They will be able to assess different career opportunities available to them in different fields. They will get to know the scope of various subjects in future.

For example

, a student living in a small town, who wants to pursue a career in IT

,

can learn that IT itself has a lot of branches like networking, ethical hacking, programming by visiting and working in big cities.

year's

time off from studies can actually help pupils in relieving their stress and rejuvenating their mind and soul. It

also

helps them to clearly think and decide about their ultimate life goals.

On the contrary

, the main disadvantage of taking a break can actually distract them from the goals they have set for their lives and

also

lags them behind when it comes to recent advances.

For example

, in the field of Computing, every now and

then

, new viruses and anti-viruses are launched and

also

latest versions are released for every software. In

this

case if a young aspirant takes a break from studies and start travelling and doing work,

then

he/she won't be able to catch up with the recent changes as he/she is not studying which in turn will make them lag behind in

further

studies.

Furthermore

there is a possibility that they might
